A vertically oriented woven textile features rows of circular medallions enclosing curled, dark blue and purple dragons against a pale tan ground. Swirling clouds in muted shades of green, gray, and indigo drift between the medallions, interspersed with small reddish-brown shapes. The dense composition fills the rectangular fabric, which is held within a thin, dark brown wooden frame, highlighting the intricate tapestry of the traditional motifs.
