Daoist priest’s ritual robe with dragons
A rectangular piece of fabric with a curved bottom edge hangs from a wooden rod. The fabric features a predominantly orange background with intricate designs. At the top, five dragons are depicted in shades of gold, red, and blue. The bottom section of the fabric has a yellow background with a repeating pattern of a circle surrounded by curved lines, accompanied by smaller dragons. A red band with a Greek key design separates the orange and yellow sections, while a blue border with a geometric pattern runs along the edges. The fabric is set against a gray background.
