The pieces assembled in this panel are parts of a dragon robe or coat made for the Lantern Festival, which takes place on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month-the first full moon of the year. The panel, which has a wide border of silk woven in the eighteenth century, includes the back and one sleeve of a dragon robe with a pattern of a composite lantern framed on three sides by dragons.
