Description

A hand-embroidered dragon, with clouds and swirls. The bird is mostly made out of golden metal thread, with black, gray, blue, and white accents. The clouds and swirls are multiple shades of blue, white, and gray. The embroidery appears to have been removed from its original location, and attached to paper that is on another piece of paper; the embroidery does not go through the paper.

Note

The original tag mentions "Ella Jewel," but it is unclear what that means - based on cursory internet searching, it does not appear to be a person or a historical company. The original tag also claims that it's a handkerchief, which it does not currently appear to be.
