[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 296593, member: 267"]I believe this is Chinese, maybe from the 1920s or a little before? I don't see really super quality on the figures; the embroidery on the edging is very nice, but not custom. For a panel of its size and age, it is in very good shape except for the dark blue edging as shown, which has some damage/decay. I know *a little* about Japanese characters/lohans/heavenly characters, but haven't identified these 8 as yet. Any direction would be helpful - I'm just doing a little research for my elderly neighbor for the textiles I'm threading today. I believe larger panels like these (12'x18") are desirable, but the horizontal shape is kind of awkward (to me). I'll sell them for her if it makes sense, so any details are welcome, thanks!
