Cotton jacket with wide sleeves and a placket. The body is decorated with a lantern pattern, with two balls woven on both shoulders, front chest, and back, and two balls woven on the front and back of the lower frame. Each group of lanterns is woven with a pattern of “adding funds to the sea”, with grain grains on both sides. The lower hem is decorated with sea water and river cliff patterns, with auspicious patterns emblazoned with bamboo, stone, ganoderma lucidum, daffodils, marigold, peonies, roses, bats, and miscellaneous treasures, which symbolize “the immortals wish for a birthday”. The cuffs are also tapestry with sea water and river cliff patterns, with patterns such as broken branches, peonies, and lotus hooks. “On December 17th, the 13th year of Jiaqing, the collection and production office presented a cotton jacket with eight groups of carved stone tapestry and water on the neckline.” Although this cotton jacket adopted techniques such as flat tapestry, long and short tapestry, wooden comb tapestry, shuttle weaving, Guan tapestry, and structural tapestry, it appeared slightly rough compared to the tapestry fabric of the Qianlong period. The colors of its patterns are elegant and harmonious, with colors such as gouache, pink, pink, red, white, lake green, bean green, dark green, snow green, and snow gray. In order to increase color changes, rendering methods are used more often. This coat has a distinctive contemporary style from tapestry to color matching.
