The "Flying Clouds Pavilion" by Jian Guzhai shows a black, shield-shaped object with a curved top and bottom. The object features an embossed design of a dragon on the top half, with its head towards the top and tail towards the bottom. The dragon is surrounded by swirling clouds. There are three vertical lines of white Chinese characters in the center. The background is light gray, with a shadow cast to the left.
