| This large, striking 19th century Chinese embroidered silk collar from Shaanxi Province was made to be worn over a silk robe on festive occasions. The collar was created from 40 separate petal-shaped pieces of black silk fanned around a lined neck band. Outer petals are embroidered with 20 different colorful butterflies; inner petals have 20 different vases holding a variety of flowers. Backed with white silk and set within a traditional Asian frame, this costume piece from China's provincial past becomes dramatic wall art. The collar is in excellent condition; the framing was done recently. Dimensions: 35" square. | ||||||||
