Description
Embroidered silk wall hanging depicting the birthday of Guo Ziyi, China, late 19th century
Rectangular in shape, this orange silk hanging, embroidered with multicoloured and metallic threads, depicts the birthday celebration of Guo Ziyi – 郭子儀, a general of the Tang dynasty (697–781). He is seated with his wife beneath a gateway, between a pine tree and a weeping willow; the gateway bears the inscription 汾陽王 – Fényáng Wáng on its pediment and is decorated with lanterns. The couple are surrounded by dignitaries, one of whom is prostrating, and by children holding lotus flowers and banners. Bats, butterflies in the clouds and flowers dot the background. At the top, a green silk flap is embroidered with figures, butterflies, bats and flowers, extending into a silk net from which multicoloured tassels hang.
192 x 83 cm
Sun-faded, with losses and tears.
