This is a large, rare and antique rectangular panel of embroidered silk (Nasha) in polychrome, woven on eggshell colored silk gauze.

The Pheasant in China is the imperial symbol of authority, while the Cop is the symbol of positive strength that drives away bad influences.

Nasha embroidery, known in Europe as "half cross stitch on silk gauze", is a Chinese embroidery technique that appeared more than two thousand years ago.
During the MING (1368-1644) and QING (1644-1911) dynasties, this technique flourished unprecedentedly, and was not only used for imperial furnishing and liturgical fabrics and court clothes, but also to imitate painting or calligraphy.
It consists of embroidering threads regularly on a specific silk gauze, the embroiderer must count the number of gauze threads to fix the position of each stitch.
The stitch paths must be parallel to the horizontal or vertical threads, the gauze holes cannot be blocked. Normally, there are between 1000 and 2000 stitches embroidered on one square inch.
A large Nasha embroidery often consists of hundreds of thousands of stitches and several hundred different threads. A skilled embroiderer can only make a maximum of 3 square inches in a day. Because of this complication and difficulty, the majority of ancient Nasha embroideries are small, everyday objects, except for court clothes and civil service squares.
