What shape is the dragon pattern on Chinese bronzes?

Dragon pattern, the dragon pattern images on bronzes are mainly human-faced snakes and animal-faced snakes, with horns and scales on their heads, and the snakes often twist around their heads. In the Spring and Autumn Period, on the one hand, animal patterns were gradually replaced by geometric patterns, on the other hand, the reform of decoration technology changed the method of carving patterns on pottery molds in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and adopted the impression method, which was multi-purpose. At this time, the dragon pattern, like a small snake without horns, interweaves and overlaps and unfolds in four directions in a continuous form, which is called flat-headed pattern. In the late spring and autumn period, a more simplified and geometric form appeared, called plain weave.
