[Red satin beaded embroidered gourd work]

The red satin beaded embroidered gourd work was used by the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty as daily clothing accessories. A complete set of six items, including a pair of wallet, cigarette pouch, bracelet, watch case, and fan case. The red plain satin floor is embroidered with the traditional “gourd generation” pattern. Decorated with bright yellow ribbon. Using rice string embroidered gourds and flowers to protrude and float on the surface of the pattern, presenting a three-dimensional effect. Embroidering gourd branches and leaves using the pull lock embroidery technique reflects the continuous design theme. The decorative plate and long knot on the gourd shaped betel nut bag in the work is also a reflection of this theme. The embroidery techniques, decorative techniques, and design ideas of the entire work complement each other, forming a perfect integration. The work includes a variety of handicrafts, such as embroidery, beading, and knotting. The exquisite craftsmanship shows that the work of the court in the Qing Dynasty has completely lost its function as a practical product for nomad and has evolved into a fine craft decoration.
