An orange silk and brocaded metal thread robe hangs vertically with wide, outspread rectangular sleeves. A dense gold geometric lattice covers the entire surface. The design features circular motifs containing coiled dragons and swirling patterns in light green, blue, white, and pink scattered across the body and sleeves. A central opening reveals the fabric folding inward. The glinting gold background provides a textured field for these vibrant, repeating medallions.
