A long, vertical textile panel depicts multiple stylized red and blue-green dragons amidst a patterned floral background
Detailed Description
A tall, narrow, vertically oriented textile panel is framed in black. The panel features a series of stylized creatures, primarily dragons, against a densely patterned background. At the top, a large red creature with a prominent head, white eyes, and a long, flowing body extends downwards. Its body is accented with green and white details. Below this, another red creature or part of the first one is visible, composed of swirling forms. In the middle section, a blue-green dragon with white eyes and red accents coils downwards, its scaled body detailed with lighter blue patterns. It appears to be holding a red orb or pearl near its head. Further down, a second blue-green dragon, similar in appearance, also coils, its body intertwining with the background patterns. The background throughout the panel is composed of gold, muted green, and soft red, featuring intricate patterns of foliage and large, stylized flowers, possibly peonies or chrysanthemums. The reds and blue-greens of the creatures stand out against the background colors.
