Black and white image of a Sutra Cover by an unknown artist. The image features a dragon design on a gray fabric background. The dragon faces right and has a long curved body with five claws, a mane, and a flame-like tail. The dragon's body is outlined in white and shaded in gray. There are stylized white and gray clouds throughout the image. The dragon's mouth is open and it appears to be surrounded by the clouds. The fabric appears to have a woven texture. The image is rectangular with a black border around it.
