A rare early-20th century Chinese silk tapestry depicting a lively dragon procession, expertly embroidered with vibrant threads and intricate narrative details. This museum-quality textile features a serpentine dragon accompanied by 25 children at play, set within a lush terrestrial garden with stylized trees, lanterns, banners, and fencing.
Executed in saturated yellows, greens, blues, and blacks on an iron-red ground, the tapestry showcases traditional embroidery techniques, including satin stitch and couching, capturing movement, celebration, and festivity.
