Description
Red cotton and silk fabric embroidered with a dragon, China, late 19th century

Above, four large peonies. The whole is framed by a decorative band of flowers and double gourds, as well as three characters in medallions: ??? – Nan Hong Xing, which can be translated as: ‘May luck and prosperity rise from the South’.
