As the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac, dragons are associated with strength, health, and harmony. Rich in color and texture, this dragon applique depicts the best of these qualities. His undulating body is highlighted with a netting of shimmering metallic gold threads on black twill fabric. Plumes of green and black trail from his head and tail while striking red flames flicker from his mouth, feet and around his tail. The shimmer of the metallic gold threads are a symbolic reflection of this mythical creature's universal appeal in the Asian culture.

Measures 3"W X 3-3/4"H.
