A golden dragon with intricate scales dominates the center of this richly embroidered textile, surrounded by clouds and celestial motifs rendered in gold, cream, and pale blue against a deep indigo ground. Geometric meander patterns frame the composition, while decorative clouds billow across the lower register, creating a hierarchical artwork rooted in classical Chinese imperial symbolism. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
