Emperor’s Ceremonial Armour 1736-1795 (Qianlong period). Silk, bronze, gold, metal and cotton.
The Qing rulers, conquerors of all China, took pride in their military heritage. Emperor Qianlong carried out great military reviews, some in the imperial grounds south of Beijing. The emperor inspected his troops regularly. His ceremonial armour was for such events, not for battle. The jacket and apron are padded with cotton instead of protective iron strips. The sleeves are banded in closely sewn strips of gold thread to resemble shining metal. | sources: V&A and The Palace Museum, Beijing.
