Number one animal

The dragon is the number one animal in Chinese symbolism, the dragon stands for the emperor and the ruler of the skies and the waters. This one is a beautiful transparent purple glass piece, one of the farewell gifts from Singapore, as we collect dragons. For its true colour and the effects of light and background on it see the colour version in the extra.  For MonoMonday with its theme 'One' and with thanks to random_angel for hosting this new month.
