Painted with mineral colours on paper, the dragon's scaly body curves down from the upper to lower registers of the scroll. In Korea, dragons were associated with moisture, clouds, water and rain. The dark clouds surrounding the dragon suggest his powers as a bringer of rain. Beyond the dragon's snout is a flaming pearl, trailing fiery plumes like those which extend from his limbs.
