Chinese Loong sculpture decoration 3D model

The Chinese Loong (or Long) is a mythical serpentine creature composed of nine animal features, including deer antlers, fish scales, and eagle claws. Unlike the fire-breathing, winged dragons of Western lore, it lacks wings and symbolizes benevolence, strength, prosperity, and imperial authority. Revered as a divine rain deity, it controls water and weather, ensuring bountiful harvests. Historically tied to emperors, the five-clawed Loong represented exclusive imperial power, while folk traditions celebrated its role in festivals like the Dragon Dance for good fortune. Culturally, it embodies harmony, wisdom, and the spirit of the Chinese nation, distinct from the malevolent Western dragon
