Description
Annotation translation: "From head to tail the dragon is about 20 m. long. The body is formed of a yellow cloth draped over sticks which also support chinese lanterns. The head, the tail and the lanterns are illuminated with candles, so that in the night one gets the impression of a fiery dragon snaking its way along." Annotation: "Der Drache ist vom Kopf bis zum Schwanz ca. 20 m lang. Der Leib ist ein gelbes Tuch, das über auf Stangen getragenen Lampions weggeht. Kopf, Schwanz und Lampions sind mit Kerzen erleuchtet, so dass es bei Nacht den Eindruck eines feurigen, sich daherschlängelnden Drachen macht."
