The
bodies of dragons in Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) art became stronger with their thinner necks
and long bodies often shown prancing about freely. Eyes appear smaller and are shown as
round, vibrant forms. The head tends to be flat and long with whiskers and hair that flare
with motion. Another characteristic of Yuan dragons is to show them above swirling ocean
waters in a majestic flight. Dragons in the art of this period are commonly shown with
four claws.
