The robe is finely worked in couched gold and silver metal threads on the front and back with nine five-clawed dragons on a dense ground of stylized clouds interspersed with auspicious bats and the Eight Buddhist Emblems. The Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority are arranged in three groups of four beginning with the sun, moon, constellation and mountains around the neck; the axe head, fu symbol, paired dragons and pheasant around the upper body of the robe; and the water weed, pair of sacrificial vessels, fire and grain above the terrestrial diagram and lishui stripe at the hem, all picked out in shades of blue, turquoise, red, ochre, and green, and reserved on an apricot ground. The matching dark blue-ground cuffs and collar are worked with further dragons amidst bats, clouds and waves.
