Some of the details have been executed with the brush.\nThe design is composed of eight circular medallions, each containing a pair of five-clawed dragons in the midst of scrolled clouds upon a fretted background shaped in the centre into a shou (longevity) character. The border and sleeves are mounted with a brocade of similar design on a dark ground."@en .
