Footnotes

清康熙 黃緞雲錦龍紋補

Compare with a group of similar brocade dragon roundels with the same composition, see Linda Wrigglesworth, Creative Momentum: Antique Chinese, Tibetan & Korean Costumes & Textiles, 4-14 Nov 2002, London, 9/0741, 9/0746, 9/0742, 9/0747. One of the roundels, with the dragon coiling clockwise, measures 31.0cm diam. Wrigglesworth thus deduces that it would have been worn on the left shoulder. This would make the current lot, similar in size and the dragon anticlockwise, for the right shoulder.

比較一組相同構圖雲錦龍紋圓補,請參閱 Linda Wrigglesworth,Creative Momentum: Antique Chinese, Tibetan & Korean Costumes & Textiles, 2002年11月4日至14日,倫敦,編號9/0741、9/0746、9/0747。其中一枚龍紋圓補,正龍順時針盤旋,直徑31.0厘米。 Wrigglesworth 因此推測其應其原本在皇太后皇后龍袍左肩上。這意味著與其尺寸相近的當前拍品位於龍袍右肩。
