Description for blind and low-vision visitors
Two long, sinuous dragons fill the composition on a flat golden-yellow background, their bodies arching and intertwining as they face off. Each creature has an open jaw lined with sharp teeth, long whiskers, clawed limbs and webbed green fins along its spine. The serpentine bodies are densely patterned with fine cross-hatched scales in red, blue, grey and ochre, with curling flame-like and floral motifs in orange and red. The naive, decorative style uses tightly packed linear detail, and a faint inscription with a date appears at the lower right.
