Muut tiedot

Kesi weaving was widespread throughout the Qing dynasty, particularly during the Qianlong Emperor's reign. The textiles produced through kesi weaving were utilized as clothing, fans, screens, and scrolls. This particular kesi scroll depicts a group of immortals offering birthday felicitations to the Queen Mother of the West (Xiwangmu), symbolizing an auspicious blessing. Pieces like this could have been commissioned as birthday gifts for esteemed senior members of prominent families.
