Here be Dragons

The dragon is one of the most beloved animals of the Chinese. Other than in the west, it is not thought to be evil, but good hearted and it acts as a protector. Like on this picture, the dragon is often depicted with a pearl (here a black one), which is thought to bring wealth, good luck, and prosperity. There's many elaborate presentations of dragons - I liked this one for it's simplicity and colors.
