The image features a colorful sketch of an ornate dragon depicted on what is described as a "Ming frieze finial tile" from Kiehsiu, Shanxi, China. This dragon has many traditional elements such as scales, horns, and a sinuous body, with swirls and floral-like patterns integrated into the design. The dragon is drawn with a combination of orange, yellow, green, and blue hues, which highlight its details and add to its dynamic appearance. The tile seems to have a raised, three-dimensional quality to it as the dragon motif appears prominently against the tile's edge. At the bottom left of the image, there is a red stamp, likely a seal, next to which the name "Allen Clark" is written, along with the date "Mar. 31, 1935," suggesting that this is a representation of the tile captured by that individual on that date. The background of the image is a light beige paper, and the description text at the top is written in red ink.
