The kesi ground is woven in shades of blue, violet, red, pink and gold threads with nine five-clawed dragons clutching or confronting flaming pearls amidst clusters of ruyi-shaped clouds interspersed with bats, shou characters, and auspicious emblems. The Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority are arranged in three groups of four: the sun, the moon, constellation and mountain around the neck; the fu symbol, axe, paired dragons, and golden pheasant around the body; and the pair of libation cups, aquatic grass, grains of millet and flames, all reserved on a bright yellow ground above the Eight Buddhist Emblems rising from the terrestrial diagram and lishui stripe at the hem; with midnight-blue cuffs and collar decorated with further dragons and clouds. The interior of the garment is stamped with a Vatican stamp dated 4 Giu. (June) 1955.
