The stylization of the dragons, bats and clouds seen on the present throne seat cushion cover are quite similar to those seen on a kesi example from the William E. Colby collection, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, illustrated by R.D. Jacobson in Imperial Silks: Ch'ing Dynasty Textiles in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, 2000, pp. 832-3, no. 401, where it is dated to the late 18th century.
