Rare Chinese Embroidered Silk Robe End
Rare Chinese embroidered silk robe end depicting curved stripes ending in rolling waves, ca. 1830. Possibly Jiaqing due to the color variations and intricacy. The use of imperial yellow throughout the work indicates a high rank for the individual to whom this robe belonged.
