Dating back to the Ming Dynasty, this blue themed silk embroidery has a horizontal orientation that shows a celebratory scene with children. At the center of scene is a boy going past a bridge while riding a mythical creature, a ‘qiling,’ which is an auspicious creature thought to bring prosperity or serenity. A cherry blossom tree in full bloom flanks the scene from the left, while a peach tree bearing fruit flanks from the right. The peach tree is a common motif, and associated with longevity.
