The whole body is covered with scales and painted with gold paint, and although it has been preserved, the specimen as a whole is not very complete. The horn portion of its head had been broken off and lost, its eyes were unusually large, and one of its claws appeared to have been lost, with only three claws remaining now.

This extremely rare specimen of a real dragon is now in the collection of the Seiryu Temple in Osaka, Japan. It is said to have been trafficked to Japan by a Chinese merchant during the Meiji era, and later changed hands to a wealthy Japanese merchant, and after a few transfers, it finally ended up in the hands of a famous Japanese collector. The collector later donated it to the state, and now this specimen has become the treasure of Ruilong Temple.
