The textile features a repeating pattern of four dragons; two are fully visible and two are partially obscured. The dragons are gold with scales and curled tails; they have five claws and flames coming from their mouths. The dragons are surrounded by clouds in shades of gray, black, and gold. The clouds vary in shape and size; some are puffy and others are wispy. A crescent moon shape is visible in the top center. The edges of the textile are rough and uneven.
