Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this silk satin ensemble is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of imperial Chinese attire. The uniform consists of a resplendent tunic, an elegant apron, two intricately designed sleeves, epaulettes for added flair, and under arm protectors for practicality.

Every element of this ceremonial uniform is adorned with ornate embroidery featuring traditional dragon motifs in vibrant hues of blue and gold. The craftsmanship on display here is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry that defined Chinese textile production during this era.
