Embroidery with Tiger-Dragon
The image shows two pieces of embroidered fabric. The fabric on the left depicts a stylized tiger-dragon creature. The creature faces to the right. The creature has a long, curved body with a tail at the end. The body and tail are adorned with curving lines. The creature's head resembles a tiger's with a short snout and pointy ears. The fabric on the right shows the lower portion of the same tiger-dragon design. The background of both pieces of fabric is dark green. The embroidery is in shades of gold and brown. The fabric is torn and frayed around the edges. The background behind the fabric pieces is off-white.
