Reverse description A sinuous Chinese dragon rendered in high relief occupies the entire field, depicted in left-facing profile with scaled body, clawed feet, and elaborate curling tail, set against a backdrop of stylized auspicious clouds filling the lower portion of the design. The dragon's head is positioned to the left with an open maw and flowing whiskers, while the body coils dynamically across the field. The design is framed by an inner beaded border and an outer toothed rim, with no peripheral legend, allowing the intricate dragon motif to dominate the composition.
