The clouds are spherical and connected. Scattered Shou characters, red bats and the Buddhist treasures. The pattern extends over the frame in dark blue. - Old European private collection, assembled before 1980Such hangings were used to separate areas in the imperial palace, but also to cover walls.

The Shou characters may indicate that this hanging was used as a backdrop for a throne at a birthday celebration.Cf. Smithonian, National Museum of Asian Art, inv. no.
