Description My great grandfather's grandparents were missionaries in China in the +-1840s. This beautiful tapestry was presented to them in China as a token of appreciation from the Chinese during this time period. The piece is framed but appears to be approximately 20" long by 3 to 5" wide. It is hand embroidered/woven with silk and depicts the journey that people go through to get to heaven. Detailed images include a dragon, large bees, etc. Please see photographs.

I have a similar posting of this kind also on the site which I posted March 17, 2010 as of yet I have no comments whatso ever on it. If you go into my posting I do have some knowledge that was handed down on them. If you hear anything or have a question on some of what I know please let me know. Have a nice day!

Hi,

 

this is a chinese sleeve band that would have been attached to a late 19th, early 20th century chinese robe.

On Ebay you might get around 50 to 100 USD for it.

REgards,

Florian
