Carved jade figurine ‘Rider and Dragon’, Han style

Carved jade, light in tone with ochre and reddish flecks. It shows an elegant dragon, with a slender, elongated body, its right legs forward, its tail curled and its head raised, showing its sharp fangs in its jaws. A rider rides on its back with his knees bent, his body erect, his hands raised grasping the dragon's mane, and his head straight with his gaze straight ahead.
