Woman’s long, sleeveless, A-line dress made of purple silk damask that is patterned over-all with small coin-like motifs and larger roundels enclosing images of dragons and an auspicious symbol. The neckline has a high collar that extends diagonally from centre front, across the chest from left to right and fastens under the right armhole with a loop and metal ball-shaped button. The edges are faced with strips of blue silk or rayon crepe that is patterned with black and white ribbon-like streamers and pink, red and green floral motifs. The garment is lined with gray cotton with an over-all printed pattern of red, green, white and dark blue ovoid shapes.
Gold coloured robe with brocade roundels. The robe has a round neck, long sleeves and centre opening with metal frog closures. There are slits in the sides and back.

Dark blue silk brocade floor-length ceremonial robe with phoenix, dragon, pearl, fire and vase motifs woven with gold metallic threads and multicoloured silk. It has a standing collar and tapered sleeves. The robe closes in front asymmetrically (left over right) and fastens at the right side seam, under the sleeve, with a gold-coloured metal (brass?) ball button and loop. The silk fabric has been cut and pieced together like a patchwork, so that the main design elements are placed at centre front and centre back, so as to produce a symmetrical arrangement of design motifs in other places, for instance on the skirt. A panel of plain dark blue matching silk, which is not seen when the robe is worn, has been used to extend the lower half of the right front where it is overlapped and covered by the left. The edges are finished with red-orange silk damask facings, cut on the bias, and the lining is bright green damask with peony motifs.
Large, off-white, light-weight cotton muslin robe cover. Very long length and sleeves. Unfinished seams. Roughly made.
