ULITA in Leeds holds a Chinese, hexagon shaped, embroidered 'cloud collar' (40 x 35 cm), apparently for a woman's coat. It is made of blue silk, decorated with metal thread couching. The embroidered motifs are stylised flowers, resembling peonies. It is said to date to the late nineteenth century. The collar was collected in Hong Kong.
