Description
This long vest is intentionally complex. The front centers on a large blue mythical creature embroidered in graded silk threads, with silver couching sharpening the outline and ornamental curls. The back changes language completely, combining panels of people, flowers, birds and additional animal scenes in different colors and textile textures. Because the central creature is highly stylized, the product description does not force it into a Qilin, lion or dragon identity without provenance. Its value comes from the layered craftsmanship and the way multiple textile fragments are composed into one wearable piece.
Craft: Su embroidery with silver couching; mixed embroidered textile patchwork.
Materials: Silk satin with silk lining and multiple patterned silk/satin patchwork sections.
Fit / Size: One size. Recommended reference range: approx. 45–70 kg / 99–154 lb (90–140 jin). Fit varies by height, shoulder width and body shape.
Availability: One of a kind. Quantity: 1.
Care: Specialist professional cleaning is recommended. Do not machine wash, soak, wring or bleach. Store in a dry place away from prolonged sunlight. Steam lightly from the reverse if needed; never press an iron directly onto the embroidery. Keep metallic threads away from moisture, perfume and abrasion.

Meaning & Craft
The central beast is intentionally left as an unidentified mythical creature until stronger provenance is available; the listing emphasizes craftsmanship rather than inventing a name.
