Woman’s robe decorated with crane medallions
Not on view
Each of the round medallions on this robe features a red-crowned crane, a symbol of longevity, carrying in its beak a lingzhi fungus, another symbol of long life. These are surrounded by a ring of bottle gourds (good fortune and professional success) and bats (good fortune). Worn on a special occasion, this robe would have virtually glowed with auspicious meaning.
