The dragon is mostly white with black shading around it. The bottom animal is a tiger, facing right, with a long tail and stripes on its body. The tiger is white with black stripes. The background of the scroll has dark shading around the dragon and lighter shading around the tiger. The background also has some curved lines and marks.
