Description

Cantonese opera scholar’s robe made of light blue fabric front and back, lined inside with white cotton. The left side of the robe crosses over the front, to attach with a tie under the right arm, creating a shallow V-neck. The sleeves are indented slightly at the under-arm, then widen and remain thus from shoulder to cuff. Long white panels of the same width are attached at each cuff. The robe is decorated with sequins in a pattern of leaves, branches and flowers front and back and on arms. Gold and silver sequins border the robe edges.
