A gilt copper repousse head of a horned dragon

The dragon glares at the viewer with maniacally intense eyes, his mouth open, fangs bared, and a curled tongue. His golden skin is scaly, his mane green and two large, blunt horns protrude backwards to the rear of the head. Considerable traces of pigment remain.
