Jacket - Artifacts

Description
Women's fleece lined brocade jacket Jacket has center front opening shoulder darts in the front and back, long set in sleeves. Cut in two pieces. Hip length body. Stand up collar with rounded fronts, two pockets on outside and two on inside. Short vents on each side of the body. The outside fabric is light yellow brocade with satin background featuring an all over design of a variety of containers in yellow, blue, pink, green, and brown. Some containers have handles and pedestals other have long necks. There are some with three legs resembling incense burners. One motif resembles an altar table with incense burner and cloth next to a stringed instrument. The jacket is lined with a pale yellow fleece which is turned to the out side and acts as a band around the neck, front, sleeve, bottom and pocket openings. There are four sets of frogs down the front which fasten with knot ball and loop. The frogs made of red and yellow satin wrapped around a wire appear to be in the shape of a good luck character? The third frog is mangled and the brocade is deteriorating above both sides of the pockets and on the inner sides of the sleeves.
