Unfortunately I can't help you, but have you tried to ask a museum specialised in Chinese art?

OK, I found the information. This is what a Chinese friend told me:

"About the embroidery, the design on it shows a scene in opera, the scene is probably a well-known story in Three Kingdoms period, named "Feng Yi Ting". It's about a great general Lu Bu and a beauty Diao Chan. Diao Chan is one of the four most beautiful women in China's history. The usage of the embroidery is not very certain. Maybe hanging in front of the chest."

I am glad you got an explanation, although the subject was a little different than what we normally discuss
