The yellow ground colour, reserved for the emperor, forms the central field and is decorated with two rows of three five-clawed dragons each, depicted among clouds and flames above Mount Meru. Above this section, three additional dragons can be found on a blue ground, placed in a cloud landscape. The composition includes a total of nine dragons, arranged in three groups of three.
