Woman's Imperial State Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Woman's Imperial State Robe by an unknown artist is a black and white image of a short, wide-sleeved robe. The robe has a round neckline and is made of a material with a dense floral pattern in shades of light and dark gray. A dragon design is centered on the chest. The sleeves have a band at the top with a light and dark pattern. A wave design borders the bottom hem. A rectangular section with a tree-like design is on the front center, just below the neck. The robe is laid flat on a gray background.
