An intricately carved, reddish-brown terracotta statue, depicting a mythical creature resembling a dragon or naga with ornate headwear and scales, lies partially visible on a light gray concrete surface in Nieste, Germany. The statue's detailed head features stylized eyes, a textured snout, and an elaborate crown-like element. To the left, a portion of a dark metal grid or rack is visible. The background is occupied by numerous potted plants in various containers, including black plastic pots and at least one large terracotta pot. Some pots contain green foliage, while others hold soil covered with organic mulch, possibly rice hulls, and show exposed roots or bare stems. The scene appears to be an outdoor or semi-outdoor setting, such as a garden or patio.
