From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

Curtains like this would have been used during festive imperial occasions. Decorated with five-clawed imperial dragons that thrash and soar above mountains amid stylized clouds, the imperial imagery seen here is the same as on official attire. This indicates that these curtains were most likely used in residential halls of the imperial palace. China, Asia
