Cantonese Opera Robe

MOA: University of British Columbia

2967/38

Cantonese opera scholar’s robe made of light blue fabric front and back, lined inside with white cotton. The left side of the robe crosses over the front, to attach with a tie under the right arm, creating a shallow V-neck. The sleeves are indented slightly at the under-arm, then widen and remain thus from shoulder to cuff. Long white panels of the same width are attached at each cuff. The robe is decorated with sequins in a pattern of leaves, branches and flowers front and back and on arms. Gold and silver sequins border the robe edges.
