Daoist priests were very important people, and the sumptuousness of their costumes reflects this. This garment is lavishly embroidered with nearly 350 Daoist figures of immortals and higher gods. The design consists of a large central panel of terracotta coloured satin embroidered with the Daoist heaven in coloured silks and gold thread. The panel is framed in a wide border of yellow satin, embroidered with Daoist sages among clouds in coloured silks and gold thread.

  • This sumptuous robe made for use in Daoist religious ceremonies is embroidered with 350 deities and immortals. Originally, many of these personages had their names written beside them, but these have now largely worn away. This is a 'robe of descent' - square in shape, sleeveless, with a round hole for the neck. It would have rested on the shoulders of the Daoist priest, and when he held up his arms, its decorative scheme would have been seen in all its glory by the onlookers. The 350 deities depicted represent the gods of the Daoist pantheon, including the Three Purities, the Three Celestial Worthies and the Jade Emperor. (en)
