Robe for Lay Aristocrat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Robe for Lay Aristocrat by unknown artist shows a black robe with wide sleeves and a V-neck collar. The robe features a repeating pattern of silver dragons, clouds, and other designs. The robe appears to be knee-length and has a fitted waist, with a flared hem. The robe's fabric appears to be shiny and possibly made of silk. The robe's design and style suggest it is of Asian origin. The robe is displayed flat on a light-colored background.
