| Reverse description | A fully rendered imperial Vietnamese dragon in high relief occupies virtually the entire reverse field, its sinuous scaled body coiling from lower right to upper left with the head turned to face left. The dragon is depicted with pronounced claws, elaborately detailed scales, flowing whiskers, and an open jaw, executed in the traditional Nguyen dynastic artistic style. Flame and cloud elements fill the surrounding field, heightening the dynamic composition. A plain raised rim defines the boundary of the design, and two small holes pierced at top and bottom mirror those on the obverse, confirming the piece's function as a pendant or amulet. |
