Description: The lower half of the image is a vast sea, with frogs dispersed around everywhere. Most are looking up, while a few are jumping into the water. Above them, in the upper half of the image, is a large dragon that is swooping down on them. The large wings of the dragon are ornated with strange patterns, some look like snowflakes while others resemble fish. To the right of that dragon is a man with a long beard and long hair. He is pointing down at the water with two fingers.
