Fastening at the side, the skirt is slit for about 2 feet up the centre at front and back. Sleeves shaped. Cuffs embroidered with same design. Three-quarters of sleeve is of dark blue silk, having single stripes of gold thread embroidery. Round the cuffs and round the neck are bands of gold and black brocade.

Stitches: mainly couched work and satin stitch Lining: bright blue satin- new on body The sleeves have a damask pattern of flower roundels. Sleeves have been altered, cut and rejoined.

  • Imperial robes worn by the emperor are often known as dragon robes partly because of the prominent dragon motif This robe, made for an emperor, appears bright yellow, but it is entirely embroidered on blue silk. Certain shades of yellow were restricted for the exclusive use of the Emperor and his immediate family. Apart from the five-clawed dragon, the Emperor's robe would also most likely carry the twelve imperial insignia: symbols including flames, an axe, libation cups are subtly incorporated in the robe.
