Fingerprint: Black-masked ninja holding upright sword against coiling green dragon, raised dome in upper third with two yellow eye-lamps, curved gold-lettered Bishop's Choice band with yin-yang disc, red Chinese characters flanking ninja, red-white sunburst pinwheel on apron

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the central black-masked ninja figure, arms crossed, holding a long sword upright, set against a coiling green dragon. A second striking feature is the glowing raised dome in the upper third carrying two round yellow 'eye' lamps above chunky multicolour lettering. Third, the curved gold-lettered BISHOP'S CHOICE band across the middle with its yin-yang disc at the left end. Fourth, the vertical columns of red Chinese characters (three per side) flanking the ninja. Finally the red-and-white sunburst pinwheel across the lower apron with a green pagoda and a black leaping-acrobat silhouette.
