    Wonderful that you got this beauty, Kiko. It is right up your alley.:happy:

    I think none of our Chinese translators have been around for a while (S. Wolf, I miss you). If no one surfaces, you could try here:
    https://www.asianart.com/phpforum/index.php
    There are many Chinese there. They can usually tell you something about mainstream Chinese and Japanese art as well.

    (As long as you don't stray off the beaten path, like tribal Chinese, Japanese Ainu, Indonesia, fans, etc.:rolleyes:)

    I wanted it as soon as I saw it. I have one sleeve end just like it but with only four claws - it was the first antique Chinese embroidery I bought after seeing my first dragon robe exhibit. It is Qing according to the expert. The new one I think is earlier in that period and has five claws. Five claws!
    Thank you for the link, I'll try it if no one responds here. Speaking of fans, if I saw one at a very reasonable price that appeared to be an antique would you be interested or do you specialize? I see them on occasion, nothing special yet, but I always think of you. We are a major international port here, so things come from all over. :)

    How is the restoration process going on the pitiful one?

    With me it is usually fans, keris, or dragons. I bore people to distraction with that unusual threesome.:playful:
