Description

Two light green damask silk skirt panels (part a-b) with embroidery. The panels are not sewn into a skirt--there is no waistband. There are thin borders running down the skirt and along the bottom hem with multicoloured floral motifs on black ground and blue floral trim. There is a dense section of embroidery on each panel with phoenix, peony, orchid, peach and Qilin motifs on light green ground. The damask is woven containing large chrysanthemum motifs. The inner edges are lined with dark red silk; the skirt is otherwise unlined.
