Description
Silk embroidered jacket. Jacket is short-sleeved with a collarless 'v' neck, open at the front and fastened with two cotton ties. Garment is made of tan coloured cotton in a course weave, covered on the exterior by dark purple silk. The front is embroidered in shades of gold with images of standing birds, butterflies, and flower motifs. The back shows two serpentine dragons, bodies extending upward, clawed feet protruding, heads toward top, scales densely embroidered. The dragons are surrounded by flower motifs as well and rounded linear decorations. Arm cuffs are decorated with a single line of circular motifs, while the bottom of the jacket body has several lines of small triangles in black, purple and dark blue.
