Historical Context
European manuscripts contain dragons, serpents, and marine monsters, but Sea Dragon is not one stable medieval species and no source establishes this banner as historical. The artwork combines a bestiary-like dragon with maritime movement in a contemporary display format.
Provenance: Original banner composition informed by medieval European dragon and sea-monster imagery.
Context note: Does not claim one universal sea-dragon tradition or borrow the identity of a specific East Asian dragon.
