Seal with Crouching Dragon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a sculpture titled "Seal with Crouching Dragon" likely created by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a crouching dragon on a rectangular base. The dragon has the head of a creature, possibly a mythical one, with a long snout and two small ears on top of its head. Its body appears to be a four-legged animal with the front legs bent under its body and the back legs stretched out behind it. The sculpture is made of a dark stone or metal and is placed on a rectangular base. A small white sign in front reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The background is a light-colored wall.
