illustration of ruyi clouds. Explanation: 云肩: 披肩 shawl 如意云头: 如意云头纹是一种带有中国文化特色的吉祥图案，如意是按中国旧时吉祥物如意演变而成的纹样，喻意吉祥如意。常常与“瓶”、“戟”、“磐”等组成“平安如意”、“吉庆如意”、“富贵如意”等含义。而云纹则是由卷曲线条组成的图案，汉魏时已作为装饰花纹流行。在陶瓷器物上一般用于作边饰。元代时多见朵云纹，多绘成如意头状，一般前段肥大，后段细长。明代时，云纹上的飘带增多变长，主纹旁边的从纹也增加。至清代时，朵云的头部更加拉长，飘带变短且较粗，形成菱角的形状，云头则逐渐形成一串云。 -> I would simply say: illustration of ruyi clouds.
