Jin-silk with Geometric Floral Patterns and Auspicious Characters Front

This piece boasts beauties of life, space and geometric structures. Meanwhile, the Chinese character “吉” which means luck and fortune scattering around makes this an auspicious piece. The motifs are relatively well-preserved, with clearly-arranged white threads creating patterns on a tan ground. The perfect density of figures with coexistence of both angular and curvy edges constitutes a pleasant composition which reveals the thoughtfulness of the artisan.
