Descripción de objeto de Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira

Chinese dragon robe (ch'i-fu): presented to William John Brinsden (horse cab driver) after he rescued a young Chinese man who fell from a ship into Auckland harbour, circa late 1890s. Some months later someone came to his door and presented the robe as a gift of thanks from the family of the young man.

Note: a ch'ao-fu is a formal garment consisting of two parts, an upper hip length riding style coat, and a lower paired overlapping skirt. It was worn only for important sacrificial ceremonies and rituals by members of the Imperial family and high ranking officials.

A ch'i-fu (dragon robe) was worn for all other court occasions and official duties. It is a full length, right front, side fastening garment.
