Translation of the Chinese text: "[continuing from the right leaf, 2004.19.1.1.33]...include nine golden dragons spaced by five-colour clouds. The middle [of the robe] does not have pleats. The lower part is decorated with "eight treasures and level waters" [babao, pingshui]. There are two moving dragons embroidered on the flared shoulder collar, one front-facing dragon on each cuff, and each sleeve has two moving dragons at the joint place. The back of the collar attaches a hanging with bright yellow ribbons adorned with pearls and gems as fitting. The first-rank imperial consort will have the same design."
