Robe of tapestry-weave (kesi) silk in coloured silks on a ground of gilt paper thread tinted with water-colour paint. The collar and cuffs are tapestry woven in coloured silks and gilt paper thread on a dark blue ground, with edging of brocaded silk and patterns in gilt-paper thread on a dark blue satin ground. The forearms of the sleeves are of pleated dark blue silk lined with pale blue silk damask. There are four gilt-brass buttons for fastening. The pattern on the front and the back of the body is the same. At the bottom waves break in sprays over rocks. From either side of the robe peach trees can be seen growing from the highest rocks and from others grow narcissus and fungus. Amid the waves are stems of flowers, the heart of some of them being the yin-yang symbol. The upper part has three blue dragons pursuing flaming magic jewels, bats, conventional cloud-ornament, stems of flowers, and seven of the eight Buddhist emblems. The pattern of the collar and cuffs is composed of dragons pursuing flaming magic jewels, bats, clouds, rocks and waves upon whose surface float pearls, cash, lozenges, red coral, and other symbolical objects. The brocade edging is ornamented with a floral and foliated pattern.
