        This fan pouch has pattern designs similar to tianhua jin-silk. Worked on a gauze ground in polychrome silk threads in counted stitch are blue geometric patterns serving as a background and the character "longevity" in red thread, which is repeatedly placed in square and octagonal frames that alternate in placement. Down below are wave patterns of the ocean. (XY)
