| 1992.051 | Painting | Square of red silk on a paper backing. Four hand painted, five-toed dragons, outlined in black with silver detailing, on the diagonal. Around the dragons are cloud patterns, in black and silver, and fire symbols in gold outlines, possibly representing the breath of the dragons changing into moisture and fire. A five-toed dragon represents the imperia family. Overlaying the dragons in large, heavy black ink strokes, is the Chinese character for happiness. In the center, under the calligraphy is a circle, probably the flaming pearl, another symbol of power. Red Chinese characters on back.
