Traditionally, lateral curtains were mostly used to decorate the central hall of a house for a wedding or other celebratory occasion. This red silk lateral curtain, stretches nearly five meters long, features meticulously stitched embroidered flowers, birds, grass, trees, clouds and rocks that simply burst with color. The overall effect is sumptuous and elegant. One of the greatest embroidered works of art of the Qing Dynasty, the curtain, with its glorious and colorful vista of blooming flowers and songbirds, signals that all is flourishing.
The five stamps, each with a NT$10 denomination, feature the following:
(1) peacocks and scholar’s rocks ;
(2) a snow crane, a bat, mynahs and reishi mushrooms;
(3) a snow crane, a pine tree and orchids;
(4) paradise flycatchers, plum blossoms, bamboo, and magnolia flowers;
(5) a pair of Mandarin ducks, a kingfisher and lotus flowers.
The souvenir sheet(s/s) includes a single NT$100 denomination stamp. The stamp features a spectacular peacock, yuhinas, peonies and scholar’s rocks.

To highlight the exquisite beauty of the piece, the souvenir sheet is printed on silk paper plus partly embossed and hot stamped with gold foil.
