This kite adopted the shape of a traditional copper clock for its main body. What’s atop the clock is a “pulao”, namely, a baby dragon with one body but two heads, one of the nine sons of the dragon in Chinese mythology. Known for their love of roaring by nature, pulaos are commonly-seen ornaments on clocks in ancient China.
