A rank badge embroidered with a peony and peacock design is attached to the front of the robe. The color of the subject’s skin is painted brightly, and the nose and his cheeks appear to be full of life. The colored carpet on the floor is decorated with scroll and plant designs, geometric patterns, and three hexagonal patterns.
