This Asian Emperors robe and boots were hand-sewn and hand-embroidered. The figure took form to reflect P’u Yi pronounced “Poo Yee”,The Child Emperor of China.
Feb. 12, 1912, the five-year old emperor renounced his throne and went to live in the Forbidden City and was treated with enormous respect.
The city's walls are red and the roof is gold -- the colors of the imperial court. No one was allowed to use the color yellow except the emperor. Almost everything around him was yellow: the floor tiles, the dishes, even his pillowcases and blankets. .
