The wool carpet throne cover features three five-clawed dragons, representing a harmonious relationship among them. It represents a typical imperial composition of numerous dragons, interpreted as a symbol of social order corresponding to Confucianism. These three dragons are surrounded by clouds, with rocks and waves below. The shape of the carpet corresponds to a throne chair.
