Happy Year of the Dragon!
I love the idea of kintsugi so here's a porcelain dragon that highlights the broken seams with gold. Despite all the pains of hardships in life, we are beautiful.

“The red dragon’s head appears larger than it is, so close to its victim’s shuddering gaze, and so do its paper-maché teeth. Its humble operator, the size of a pet, manages a pole wrapped in silk-cloth that simulates a beast’s animal movements. There are many such things—those that frighten more than they do harm. If you look past its sharp teeth, you may find a soft if mischievous friend.”
