Three colourful dragons in a shop window, made of paper and wood with metal studs arranged one on either side facing outwards and one in the middle facing left. Immediately in front of them is a dark orange ball made of folded paper, and in front of that are five assorted pleated paper circles in various sizes that look like the tops of umbrellas, in pale pink, pale yellow, and gold. The whole arrangement is sitting on a bed of small green leaves with a few tiny red berries. Another pale yellow folded paper ball hangs down from a string on the left.
