The fur clothing along with his boots and hat were heavily decorated with handmade stitches of ivory bead • Chinese thread embroidery dates back to 3500 B.C which is still prevalent today. Chinese bead embroidery dates back to 6000 B.C that had drilled shells stitched with decorative designs into animal hides. At around 500 A.D, embroidery with silk thread along with precious stones and pearls was practiced in China.
