A colorful hanging banner with three dragon rondels above crashing waves.
 
A red and blue silk banner with scalloped edges has embroidered dragon rondels. The dragons are embroidered with two tones of blue silk and are edged in silver thread. They have white eyes with black pupils and have five-clawed feet. They seem to have captured the pearl of wisdom and float above crashing red and blue waves which are also edged with silver thread. The banner edges and fringed end are all framed in silver thread.
 
The banner is backed with a coarsely woven pale yellow fabric with two reddish fabric loops used to secure the banner. One loop is in the center and one on the underside of the fringe. There is a loop made from the same yellow fabric as used on the back at the top for hanging. The top has a piece of bamboo sewn in for hanging. There is white cotton piping around the banner edges.
 
There are three Chinese characters in black ink on the top back, as well as what looks like a number 9.
