Jade Floral Tunic

Sheer romance for day into evening, this Jade Floral Tunic with delicately beaded neckline takes its inspiration from clothing in our Natural History Museum’s Asian ethnological collection. Graceful details to note: butterfly sleeves, handkerchief hem, gently gathered drawstring waist and V trim. Attached multicolored camisole. Rayon Georgette. Imported.  Sizes, S, M, L, XL.

Museum Provenance

Can genuine jade be red, lavender, black or white? In a word, yes, as eloquently evidenced by our lovely multi-hued Jade collections—the objects we offer you here, as well as the jade displayed at our National Museum of Natural History. Though green has historically been the most prized color, many jade treasures (including our museum’s own carved lavender Jade Dragon Vase) showcase other colors of this spectacular gem.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
