  • Roundel of silk embroidered with silk and silver gilt threads, China, 18th century-19th century (en)
  • This roundel would have come from a surcoat (or its unmade dress length) intended for an Emperor or a Prince. It is one of a set of four roundels. This sample would have been on the back of the surcoat. The front facing five-clawed dragon has the symbol of a mountain above its head, one of the Twelve Imperial Insignia normally allowed only to the Emperor by sumptuary law. The symbol of the mountain symbolised the domain of the emperor as well as the place where people hunted and gathered. (en)
  • Roundel of dark blue silk cut from an Emperor's or Prince's surcoat, formed out of two hemispheric panels. It is embroidered in coloured silk and silver gilt threads in long and short, satin and stem stitches with couched work. It bears a front-facing five-clawed dragon encircling a flaming jewel, amidst clouds, bats and swastikas with sea waves below. The mountain is one of the twelve imperial symbols. Frame is a latter-day addition. (en)
