A deep crimson resin powder from the dragon’s-blood tree, mordanted and ground fine for textile work. The rich, warm red resists fading and takes well on silk and fine wool; it commands a merchant’s price owing to the distant trade in this exotic pigment. Dyers use it sparingly, often mixed with madder for economy and to achieve jewel-like scarlets fit for noble garments.
