Description: A replica of a Qing Dynasty dragon robe (A theatrical robe used in the Peking Opera). Dragon Robe or Longpao (龍袍) in Mandarin is the robe worn only by the emperors of China. In the Qing Dynasty black is used in many royalty & government robes. However in many other Chinese dynasties, a dragon robe is often in golden yellow color.
