Standing 8 inches tall and 7.5 inches long, the sculpture is richly detailed with engraved accents, a fierce open mouth, and a coiled tail, all evoking protective symbolism common in Himalayan and Chinese ritual art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe figure is a combination of hollow-bodied with solid detailing, and bears a warm golden-bronze patina with hints of reddish oxidation in recessed areas—typical of aged bronze.
