Dragons of Silk, Flowers of Gold
Textile Treasures of the Chinese Liao Dynasty (907-1125)
Exhibition
29 April – 11 November 2007
The special exhibition reveals the refinement and rich colours of medieval Chinese dress. Woven lions and dragonfish, embroidered flower bouquets and phoenixes decorate boots, trousers, skirts, jackets, coats and the headdress of a lady. Together with exquisite gold-mounted porcelain vessels they lead into a world of luxury and beauty, that accompanied princes of the Liao-Dynasty even in their grave.
