Skilfully depicted recumbent, the mythical beast turning its head towards its back, portrayed with a prominent snout flanked by long curling whiskers, below large bulging eyes and a pair of beribboned horns, the muscular body accentuated with a defined spinal column terminating in a bushy tail swept up against its scaly haunches, the stone of a pale celadon colour highlighted with icy inclusions and russet patches.
