Almost square hand-made embroidery. On a background of green satin silk two lion dogs, or foo dogs, are playing with a ball and each other between peonies and other flowers, next to a rock formation, a bat in the upper right corner. They are embroidered by hand with bright colors of silk in straight stiches and looped stiches, the lions detailed and outlined with gold-thread, which are twisted silk threads wrapped in thin gold foil.
The image is framed with a wool woven band with geometric motifs and framed by a border of silk brocade. The back is covered with thin cloth that is woven with green silk warp and gold thread weave, giving it a golden sheen.
China, late Qing dynasty, late 19th century
H 16 x W 14.4 in.
Few tiny insect holes in the brocade. All in all, excellent condition
