A Ningxia banner rug, Northern China, late Qing dynasty, c. 230x222 cm.

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.
