Drachenrobe
20. Jahrhundert | Christian Schicklgruber
After a young man has been presented to the gods in the Taoist initiation ritual and recognized by them as a member of the Dao lineage, he is allowed to wear an embroidered costume. From this point onwards, he is allowed to address the gods himself. Robes of this type embroidered with dragons and phoenixes are also worn by priests during rituals.
