Dragon Scale

龙鳞纹

Protection, strength, blessing and continuity.

The Atlas uses Dragon Scale for linked, scale-like figured units in current collector and folk-textile language. The name describes the woven structure as much as a literal animal image.

Interpretation status: Working catalog interpretation. Meanings are catalogued with their level of certainty rather than treated as universal maker statements.
