Listed here is a very well embroidered joined pair of Chinese Embroidered sleeve bands with a scene of the dragon boat races. Extremely detailed with fine satin stitch embroidery throughout. Please see the photos for close ups of the figures and the fine work. Scenes of the dragon boat races are uncommon especially in such fine condition. The borders were taken from a robe, possibly the same robe these sleeves were intended for but not sure. The colors are certainly similar. The borders have additional accents of laid gold wire thread in the form of the endless knot. The very edge of the long sides of the piece are slightly rolled under as this was previously a framed piece. The colors are very strong and in excellent to pristine condition. A great example of fine Chinese embroidery art of a traditional cultural event which still occurs to this day. The piece measures just under 14 inches wide and 26 inches long including the borders. It is lined in back with a sheer Chinese silk gauze. Please ask all questions before bidding. Buyer pays all shipping costs. PLEASE NOTE THAT FULL PAID VALUE MUST BE STATED ON THE CUSTOMS FORM. Customs fees if any are the responsibility of the buyer. Shipping by USPS Priority Mail. Thanks and see my other auctions.
