A long silk robe in muted brown is ornately embroidered with golden dragons winding through stylized clouds of blue, red, and yellow. A dark blue band wraps from the neckline. The lower hem displays vibrant, multicolored diagonal stripes beneath cresting waves and central rock formations. Long sleeves transition into dark, pleated fabric, terminating in small embroidered cuffs. Additional golden dragons grace the shoulders, all set symmetrically against the brown background.
