  • This silk tapestry of bright colours and bold patterns was woven probably around 1600. The front and back of the robe indicate that the textile was consciously woven to be tailored later as a garment. The various symbols used indicate that this textile might have been associated with a birthday. The Chinese word for deer is ‘lu’, and the deer becomes a symbol of rank and remuneration which are also signified by ‘lu’. The peony motif signifies wealth and distinction, while the crane and the longevity (‘shou’) characters are emblems of good wishes for a long life. This robe is the earliest datable whole garment in the V&A's collection of Chinese textiles. (en)
  • A brightly coloured kesi silk woven robe decorated with paired deer, longevity characters and meandering peony flowers. At least 22 colours have been identified in the weave of the textile used to tailor the robe, in addition to gold. (en)
