Beyond brocade art, the exhibition also features temple decorations such as pillar wraps, canopies and Buddhist robes, as well as Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) dragon robes and imperial garments. Museum guide Kunkyi highlighted a ceremonial twelve-symbol dragon robe embroidered in gold on yellow satin. Historical records show such robes were often bestowed by Qing emperors on distinguished officials and local leaders, serving as symbols of recognition and strengthening ties between central and regional authorities.
