Woman's Jacket with Decoration of a Dragon and Crane and Clouds above Rocks and Waves
View through Harvard Museums
This waist-length jacket has straight sides with a short vent on either side; a high neck with a short, standing collar; and wrist-length sleeves of even width from shoulder to wrist. The jacket opens down the front and is secured by three spherical brass buttons that fit through corresponding loops. The silk ground of the brocade is a light rust color; the designs of dragons and cranes amid clouds above rocks and waves are woven in threads of various colors, including gold-colored metallic ones. The jacket is trimmed in light and dark green and it is fully lined. The heavy brocade and the full lining indicate that this jacket was for use during cool seasons.
