The body of the bottle features a design of two dragons in dark color, one on the upper center and one on the lower center. The upper dragon has a long curved body and five claws on its feet; it appears to be surrounded by clouds. The lower dragon also has a long curved body and appears to have five claws; it is surrounded by waves at the bottom. The bottle has a dark-colored lid with a rounded top. The background of the image is a mottled gray color.
