Woman's Robe with "Longevity" Medallions
Not on view
This robe, when worn with a matching dark blue coat (also in the Museum's collection), would have been appropriate formal wear for the wife of a nobleman or official on auspicious occasions such as birthdays. Each of the medallions combines the character for longevity (shou) with a pair of swastikas (wan), denoting ten thousand years.
