Curving Dragon
曲龙纹
Protection, smooth movement and good fortune.
Current Nantong/Tonghai catalog language describes the flowing zigzag bands as curving dragons. The same cloth can also contain pepper-seed details and square lattice, so one object may carry several motif systems at once.
Interpretation status: Working catalog interpretation. Meanings are catalogued with their level of certainty rather than treated as universal maker statements.
