英文說明:The borders and center pocket of this green-on-white halter top are almost completely filled with embroidery. Comprised of over ten small pieces of fabric, this example is embroidered with rather commonplace designs wishing the wearer wealth and social position, such as roosters (the Chinese “gongji” is similar in sound to the words for “achievement” and “status”) and peonies (signifying “wealth and social position”). Each small piece of embroidered fabric is stitched onto the main piece using a lock stitch.
