Interesting, the dragons on this much more resemble Ly Dynasty Vietnamese dragons, than the typical Korean or Chinese dragon. Interestingly as well, the same dragon design can be found in Persian art too.

Designs like this one probably are found in China, but they don’t seem to be as common in China, or Korea, as they are in Vietnam
