A tile panel designed by William De Morgan consisting of two tiles surrounded by green and blue square tiles. The decoration consists of a scaled dragon with his head turned backwards, with his tongue sticking out. The dragon is surrounded by green foliage and manganese carnations on a yellow ground. De Morgan often incorporated grotesque or mystical animals in his designs and dragons proved to be a popular source of inspiration.
