This dragon turtle is made of green jade. The jade is warm and lustrous, with obvious rice seepage, brown-red jade flowers, and infiltration spots. The dragon turtle has a dragon head and a turtle body, with its head held high and neck bent, and its limbs bent. The dragon head is facing left, square in shape, with oval eyes looking straight ahead, a long nose bulging upwards, an open mouth showing teeth, neatly carved teeth, two pairs of fangs overlapping each other, and ears set back. The mane in the shape of a Lingzhi hangs down on the neck, the neck is like a snake, the muscles are strong, the shell is tall and round, the shell is neatly arranged, and the carving is fine. The limbs are strong and powerful, with a sense of crawling, and the tail stretches outward, in a curved and swinging shape, which is extremely difficult to craft.
The overall image of the dragon turtle is that of a beast with its head held high and its neck bent, revealing dignity and majesty in its calmness and elegance. Its shape is symmetrical and harmonious, its carving craftsmanship is exquisite, and its lines are smooth and natural. It is a rare jade carving art masterpiece.
