Well cast, the mythical beast sitting in a proud stance, the hind legs bent and front paws stretched forward, it's head tossed back, jaws gaping in a fierce roar, displaying large fangs and an extended tongue, the mouth framed by long, trailing whiskers and large, bulging eyes below a strong brow, with pricked ears and a pair of multi-pronged, curving horns, with a highly detailed, curling beard, leading to a windswept mane, with a collar around its neck decorated with a bell and tassels, the powerful scaled body with an articulated, spiked spine, the chest, haunches, back and underbelly all engulfed in flames, the body also wreathed with trailing vines, leaves, lingzhi and cloud scroll, supported on furry, hoofed legs, with a large, reticulated tail formed into a swirling, upright mass of numerous curls, the underside open to the interior showing remains of casting material.
