Description

Large rectangular hanging with embroidery. In the centre is a red bridge flanked by pine trees. Surrounding the centre scene as a border are three gold dragons on a dark blue ground with white cloud motifs. Two dragons curl up the sides and top, meeting in the centre at a large gold pearl. The third dragon curls along the bottom. Parts of the dragons, like the eyes and teeth, are padded. Across the top edge is a turquoise band with large metal rings for hanging. Within the band are leather and paper backings for strength. The back lining is green cotton with a cream pattern or fox, tree and leaf motifs.
