Descriptive title, to be confirmed

A large winged dragon hanging from the ceiling in a stone-walled room: a blue-green head with ears, a red crest and its tongue out, a red body covered in scales, wings of red, green and yellow feathers and long green and blue legs. According to the photographer, the picture was taken in a château in the Loire Valley, in France, that has become a museum; Flickr dates it May 30, 2005.
