Description
Collar band of dark blue silk 15" long, 1.5" wide, with black binding which has gold printed patterns in places. From the collar band hang 18 blade shaped flaps 5" long, and 18 flaps 8" long. On the shorter flaps are embroidered Chinese characters of felcitous words or phrases. Nine of these flaps are faded beige cotton fabric with a narrow black binding. The other nine are of faded green silk with black binding. The 8" flaps are of red silk with embroidered floral patterns and also have a black binding. Nine of them also have a green irregular tape running along the inside border of the binding. At the end of the 8" flaps are fastened cloud-shaped pendants of off-white cotton with black binding. On the face are embroidered floral patterns. Inside the black binding are blue irregular tapes. The cloud- shaped pendants are 2.5" long and 4" wide. From the tip of these pendants are suspended various colored tassels headed by one small bead, one large one, and a small bead. The tassels are about 8.5" long. Only seven of these tassels remain.
