The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a robe with long sleeves. The robe has a round neckline with a small opening, and the sleeves have a slight curve at the end. The top half of the robe features intricate patterns and designs, while the bottom half has diagonal stripes. The robe is displayed on a flat surface, with the front side facing up, and appears to be made of silk or another smooth fabric. The robe's shape is slightly curved, with a wider bottom hem, and appears to be associated with "Boy Emperor's Twelve-Symbol Robe" by unknown artist.
