This piece of textile is probably made for the Tibetan market, and is a very rare survival of the 'continuous weave' loom panels from which formal ritual and less elaborate domestic robes were cut and assembled. It is very likely that this was removed from Beijing during the depredations at the Summer Palace in 1860
