Place of origin |
Fragment of dark blue satin, embroidered with coloured silks, chiefly in knotted stitch, outlined with a delicate silk cord. Most of the embroidery forms a border to three sides of the fragment; the rest of it is grouped in triangular masses in the corners at the lower end, and is worked in four narrow vertical bands down the sides of the two pocket-openings. The pattern consists of curving and interlacing stems of peonies, chrysanthemums, asters, plum-blossoms and other flowers.
