Description: | Orange silk lined with yellow silk brocade and embroidered with coloured silks. Stitches: satin and couching. Pattern: similar to 1936.217 but with all the eight special Buddhist symbols - the wheel, umbrella, musical stone, knot, swastika, hat and fish (two exceedingly good specimens of the fish appear just above the sacred Buddhist net); clouds fill in the rest of the space. The lining is also of interest as the flowers in the brocade indicate the seasons.
Technique: embroidering
Material: silk
