It is made of bluish white jade, and is light brown in the whole body and dark brown in some parts. The shape and function of this device are the same as those of Guyu 2177 “Jade Ring with Animal Pattern of the Eastern Han Dynasty”, so the back of both are flat for the belt. The unique dragon is a three-dimensional form with a powerful expression. With its feet leaning forward, it has extraordinary momentum, showing another sense of beauty. The chin of the Divine Dragon was longer than the upper lip, so the tongue was exposed, which was a common feature of dragons in this period.
