Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical scroll featuring a large, dark dragon against a muted brown background. The dragon's body is depicted in shades of dark gray and black, with lighter outlines highlighting its scales and features. Its head, with prominent eyes, horns, and whiskers, is positioned towards the upper left, facing right. Its large claws are extended, and its long, serpentine body twists downwards. Below the upper dragon, another section of a dragon or a second dragon's head emerges from a swirling mass of clouds and waves. This lower section also shows scales and a clawed limb. The clouds are rendered in lighter gray tones, appearing to swirl. The waves at the bottom are depicted with cresting foam. The entire scene is framed by decorative borders. The top and bottom borders are dark brown with a subtle gold floral pattern. The side borders are a lighter green-brown with a repeating square pattern containing small floral motifs.
