Through
a generous gift from Janet K. Bair, three elegantly embroidered Chinese
silk pieces of clothing join the Spurlock MuseumÕs growing textile collection.
Made to be worn by wealthy individuals or members of court, they
may date to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
Most of the artifacts in New Acquisitions articles are chosen to allow website visitors to explore artifacts that are not on display in the Museum's galleries. Try searching the database or exploring the Virtual Tour to find artifacts on display.
