Chupa in celadon green silk embroidered with silk talc sequins and mirrors. The front is composed of two pieces, body and skirt. The collar is cut to the box and has no sleeves. Two interlinings, the first in linen and the second in hemp, reinforce the front, especially in the areas where the jacket is embroidered. Eleven buttonholes correspond to eleven buttons, one of which is missing, with a silk core, lined with the same fabric and ornamented with sequins. The back is cut in one piece joined by a central seam. The whole lining is made of lemon yellow silk with taffeta weave. On the back armhole at the level of the shoulder blade, three eyelets have been opened on each side, made by hand, like the rest of the jacket. All the perimeter, front collar and pocket pocket wallet, whose profiles are adapted to those of the skirts, are ornamented with a meandering embroidery with floral and plant motifs. \Celadon green is a shade between green and pale blue, the same colour as certain Chinese porcelains. These porcelains are of very ancient origin; they were exported from the Middle Ages, and were particularly appreciated in Europe from the 17th century onwards. There are several theories as to why in the West they were called celadon green porcelains (the Chinese, on the other hand, call them simply qing ci or blue-green porcelain). According to some, the European name comes from the 17th century French author Honoré d'Urfé's pastoral novel La Astrea. It features a character named Celadon (borrowed from the Latin Ovid), who wears a green ribbon from his beloved. According to other theories, the name celadon comes from the Sanskrit terms for green stone or from the deformation of the name of the Sultan Saladin, who in the 12th century sent porcelain of this type to the Sultan of Syria. Whatever the case, the fact is that this shade of green borrowed from the Far East became a symbol of elegance with exotic overtones.
