Papercraft Asian Dragon Head

Sometimes papercraft is good enough it reaches the status of "paper art". Such is the case with this Asian dragon head paper model by Cheek Patch. Ancient documents from the Han Dynasty in China describe Asian dragons as having "a camel's head, a demon's eyes, a cow's ears, a deer's horns, a clam's belly, a snake's neck, an eagle's claws, a tiger's paws and 117 carp scales." (a tad bit more complex than an European dragon don't you think? ^^).  The free PDF template for this paper sculpture may be downloaded here.
