Description

Altar cloths?, silk, red rectangle, heavily embroidered with variances of blue and white chrysanthemum flower pattern, & gold wrapped thread details. A visitor identified this object as "not Russian, but a piece of a Chinese ceremonial robe. Circa 1880's. Forbidden stitch technique. The 5-pointed flowers aren't in typical Chinese style. A highly valued piece when created today".
