Chinese theatrical puppet robe of dark navy silk, richly embroidered with metallic gold and polychrome silk threads. The robe features a prominent five-clawed dragon with an expressive face and sinuous body, surrounded by stylized cloud scrolls and auspicious motifs. Two smaller dragons appear beneath the central figure, above a decorative band of rolling waves, mountain peaks, and flowering motifs in shades of gold, coral, pale green, and turquoise. The wide sleeves are ornamented with scattered gold cloud designs, while contrasting salmon-pink embroidered side panels frame the lower body. The rounded neckline is finished with dark binding and a red cord fastening.Acquisition
