This is a small, woven silk robe for the Emperor [hence the yellow color]. On the back it says it was produced and sold at the Art Institute of Chicago. it's pretty cool, but i don't know much about it.

Such an elegant robe, love the dragons in the design
try google.....
With that last image, interesting to read it's a beautiful female imperial semi-formal attire.
Very pretty and so much detailing!
thank you Newfld, truthordare, and Mrstyndall!
yes truthordare - that is interesting. i would never have thought this was a woman's robe. i thought only the emperor himself can wear this yellow color.
