Brief Description
Dark fabric with red text, gray clouds, white text, and two white dragons
Detailed Description
A rectangular piece of dark, textured fabric, possibly a scroll, displays two distinct sections of visual content. The left two-thirds of the fabric feature multiple vertical columns of red text. The text is arranged in a grid-like pattern, with rows of light gray cloud-like motifs separating the columns. These stylized cloud motifs have swirling shapes, and some contain small red accents. Approximately three columns of red text are visible, with cloud motifs appearing between and within them. The right one-third of the fabric features a large vertical block of white text. This white text is distinct in style from the red text. Two stylized white dragon figures flank this central white text block. Each dragon is depicted vertically with intricate scales and flowing forms, facing inwards towards the white text. Claws, heads, and tails are visible on the dragons. The fabric's overall background color is a muted dark brown or dark gray, showing a subtle woven texture. Small white circular elements along the top edge suggest a mounting or attachment.
