Druk Golden Cloud

A ring of gold line dragons around a central dragon, with flaming jewels between them, over an all over lattice of gold cloud scrolls on an amber field, inside a radiating stepped band of rainbow stripes. The same drawing as Butter Lamp, now moving through a sky made entirely of cloud. In Tibetan painting the cloud scroll is the sign of the sacred present; here it is the whole ground, so the dragons appear already inside the heavens. A field of nothing but cloud and guardian makes a calm, rich room, and the lattice wears well, hiding light marks better than open grounds.
