This is a conversion of a JPEG submitted to Wikimedia into an SVG.  The conversion was done via tracing by hand.  Per the creator of the original JPEG, it was a recreation "from a textile insignia drawing.Possible the large embroidered gold dragon in relief from Munich."
An attempt was made to preserve the overall shapes and coloration of the different parts of the insignia while reducing noise from compression artifacts and the texture of the medium on which it was printed.
