This type of dragon-shaped dragonfly is known as the jade dragon or jade beast with opening. 玦 means that the head and tail are separated, some of the gaps are cut off, and some of the gaps are not all-pass; some forms are basically the same, but only have a gap-like form, which is not a gap, meaning the end-to-end division.
This one can be also called as jade pendant 珮, because there is also a perforation between the back neck of Jade Dragon.
