Not Hongshan and not modern, large C-Dragons of this design are from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). The giveaway, if you analyze photos of enough examples, is that C-Dragons of this design are occasionally inscribed with Han characters, or coupled with characters that were popular during the Han Dynasty, such as Sanxingdui.

Don't believe a word from the commenters on this forum claiming "modern reproduction." They're talking directly out of their backsides and don't have a clue about anything.
