Knot formations can be used as buttons or chest

ornaments. Three-dimensional knot formations –

padded with fiber – placed around the rim of a

garment are especially attractive.

This knot for-

mation, in the

form of two

dragons play-

ing with a ball,

is copied from

a relief sculp-

ture in an

ancient tomb

in Shandong

Province,

China.
