AN EMBROIDERED SILK DAOIST PRIEST’S ROBE, JIANGYI, 19TH CENTURY

China. The red damask ground richly embroidered in gold thread with details in Peking stitch, decorated with a large central pagoda flanked by dragons enclosed by smaller spirals, and seven star-shaped applications with dragons amid scrolling clouds, all above crashing waves with lotus blossoms, interspersed with auspicious symbols including bats, scrolling clouds, cranes, and archaistic characters.

The sleeves similarly decorated with the anbaxian symbols alternating with the bagua in fiery panels, the gold collar with shou characters below detailed with the Tiger of the West and the Dragon of the East.

Provenance: The Moke Mokotoff Collection, New York. John ‘Moke’ Mokotoff (1950-2022) was a devoted Buddhist practitioner, passionate collector, and esteemed dealer of Asian art. After studying expressive art and photography in school, he moved to New York, where he began to deal in the nascent market for Chinese, Indian, and Himalayan art. In 1980, Moke opened his first gallery, Mokotoff Asian Arts, and actively sold important works to some of the most prominent collections in New York and globally, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rubin Museum of Art. Revered for his knowledge of Chinese and Indian textiles, Moke was also a compassionate teacher and lifelong patron of Buddhist monasteries and nunneries.
