With a round collar, two side slits, two hoof sleeves named after the hoof-shaped cuff and a diagonal placket stretching from collar to the right side of waist, this blue satin dragon robe is mainly embellished with nine five-claw dragons flying around clouds embroidered with gold couching stitches. Auspicious motifs such as fans, flower baskets, lotus blossoms, cranes, bats, etc., are arranged sporadically around the dragons. The lap of this robe is decorated with patterns of seamounts and waves, signifying fortune and longevity.
