Lady's Six Symbol Dragon Robe of orange silk with navy-blue satin sleeves and additional sleeve-bands familiar to ladies' robes and with horse-shoe cuffs. Slit at the sides only. The robe is embroidered with coloured silk, gold and silver threads in long-and-short, satin and stem stitches with Pekin knots and laid and couched work. The collar band is also of dark blue silk embroidered with dragons, clouds, bats and waves. The robe is lined with blue silk.
The main part of the robe is embroidered with depictions of nine five-clawed dragons above 'Li shui', surrounded by clouds, the eight Buddhist symbols, bats and six of the twelve Imperial symbols:- the sun, the moon, the axe, the fu symbol, and the three and four starred constellations. The eight precious things (Ba Bao) are embroidered into the waves.

From the museum blurb:
"The name 'cloud collar' comes from the shape of this collar's lobes, or petals, which are often layered. Women wore these collars over robes for formal or official occasions including weddings. The cloud shapes represent abundance. At one time, the neck opening symbolized the Sky Gate (the entrance to heaven), and the lobes, pointing in four directions, represented the universe in miniature."
From the museum blurb:
"This woman's formal ceremonial vest would have been worn at court; the woven silk and elaborate iconography symbolized the prominent status of the wearer in Chinese society. The applied rank badges with egrets on the front and back show the husband's rank as a sixth rank civil official within the imperial court. Because of its white, clean feathers, the egret represented an incorruptible and honest official and is depicted facing the sun, a symbol of the emperor."
