Legacy of the Loom - The royal robe MS (Info mistake)



The above photo is taken from a book named "The art of the dragon", published by The Forbidden City. The dragon image is exactly same as the design of MS. However, if you refer to the pamphlet, it mentioned the robe was worn by Ming Empress. POS Malaysia has made a mistake to refer to wrong dynasty. According to the book, it has mentioned this robe was designed during Qing Dynasty Jia Qing 16 year (清朝嘉庆16年) which is at 1811 year. Ming Dynasty was ended at Chong Zhen 16 year (崇祯16年) which is at 1643. The error on the pamphlet  !!
