Description:
It is made of blue white jade. It looks like it is roaring. Walk with your wings close to your body, but you are ready to go. The long beard below the chin hangs down the chest, and the long tail drags the ground. Because the dish was once deeply cooked, there were many dark and light brown spots on the surface. The imperial poems are engraved on the chest to ward off evil spirits. The palace is also equipped with a double-layer red sandalwood seat. The upper layer is engraved with “Qianlong Imperial Play”, and the lower layer is engraved with the same imperial poem as the exorcism chest. The engraved part is also embedded with silver wire.
