The covers thus protected the sacred words and presented the sutras in beautiful envelopes that signalled the importance of the contents within. The use of silk for sutras covers dates back to at least the Tang dynasty, but most extant examples are from the Ming dynasty and later, when the printing industry grew in China. Sutra covers were typically made of lustrous silk, often highlighted by metallic thread, which made possible a wide array of patterns and designs including floral scrolls, Buddhist emblems, traditional Chinese symbols of blessings, and Chinese auspicious characters with auspicious meanings.Compare with a related plain-weave silk sutra cover, 16th century, decorated with gilded designs of dragons and clusters of ruyi clouds, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc.no. 2011.221.36. See also eight further related silk sutra covers, 16th/17th century, decorated with various designs, illustrated by Xu Zheng and Zhao Feng, A Study of the Collection of Sutra Covers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Shanghai, 2019, pp.136-139.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
