These types of pillows often feature hand-embroidered imperial dragons, which are a potent emblem in Chinese culture, especially with five toes, symbolizing the emperor and imperial power.

The pillow has intricate detailing, with bold colors such as red, gold, and green, which are commonly associated with prosperity, wealth, and harmony. The silk fabric provides a luxurious sheen, enhancing the vibrancy of the colors and the fine craftsmanship of the embroidery. The dragon motifs, especially with their imperial associations, would be intricately woven to show swirling clouds or flames, adding dynamic movement to the design.
