<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 399825, member: 8363&quot;]My friends bring me Chinese silk embroideries thinking to add to my small collection of this three dimensional art form.&nbsp; Later reproductions are easy to spot.&nbsp; I have several from these sources - Don&#039;t tell them I don&#039;t want to hurt their feelings.&nbsp; I have good provenance on the white crane badge.&nbsp; Now the gold dragon roundel - not so much.&nbsp; One of the reasons I think it might be real is the thread.&nbsp; While the workmanship is not like some of my more involved pieces with tiny stitches like the &quot;forbidden stitch&quot;, but not everything that was made was of the imperial level quality such as the dragon robes.&nbsp; They are in a class by themselves.&nbsp; A Eunuch was a slave.&nbsp; Or this could be from some other lowly servants garb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
