Övrig information
The painting of the magnificent five-clawed dragon, rendered with a ferocious expression with gaping jaws revealing sharp fangs, bulbous eyes and flaring nostrils, is meticulously detailed and naturalistic. The dragon's scaly body is depicted in the moment of leaping above turbulent crashing waves in pursuit of the flaming pearl amongst the milliard swirling clouds and flames. The five-clawed dragon symbolized the Emperor.
