The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite piece of clothing. Created by an unknown artist, this skirt is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of Chinese culture. The skirt features a vibrant floral pattern embroidered with silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped silk in knot satin and stem stitches. The use of metallic thread adds a touch of opulence to the design. The edges are beautifully finished with warp float faced 41 and 71 satin weaves, showcasing the skillful weaving techniques employed during that era.
