Ceremonial Robe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Ceremonial Robe by an unknown artist depicts a short, red, silk robe with intricate designs. The robe has short sleeves and a round neckline. The body of the robe is red with two large pink floral medallions. The medallions feature pink flowers surrounded by green leaves, blue and white birds, and other small floral designs. The sleeves are black with a floral pattern featuring pink flowers, green leaves, blue and white birds. The floral pattern on the sleeves is separated from the red section by a thin black and gold border. The hem of the robe is decorated with a wavy pattern in shades of blue, pink, yellow, and white. The robe is displayed on a light gray background.
