清中期 藍地織金龍紋吉服
the garment densely worked with fine gilt-wrapped threads integrated in the blue ground to show a central front-facing dragon and others in profile, the bulging eyes picked out in white, all pursuant of flaming pearls  all amidst beribboned auspicious emblems, shou medallions, cloud puffs, and peony sprays, with a wide undulating lishui strip at the hem beneath frothy spiralized waves tossing against trident mountain peaks, the sleeve with the same pattern before ribbed guards and horseshoe cuffs; the whole framed and glazed.
