Above them are shaded blue rocks and a branch bearing nine peaches, as well as the sun and clouds.

This panel is rich with symbols representing Longevity; the female immortal may represent the goddess of Longevity (Magu), and the crane and peaches are both symbols of longevity.
A similar example of an immortal with her attendant on a black ground is illustrated by R.D. Jacobsen, Imperial Silks, Ch'ing Dynasty Textiles in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, vol. 2, Minneapolis, 2000, pp. 1004-5., no. 497.
