A Pair of massive embroidered theatrical hangings
Late Qing dynasty
Each hanging a mirror image elaborately composed in couched gilt and vegetable dye threads to depict three closely huddled martial figures, likely the three Peach Garden heroes Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, each attired in extremely elaborate armor formed in a raucous profusion of repeating patterns, floral motifs, animal heads, and smaller depictions of religious and legendary figures; reversed by a blue wool or coarse silk backing.
