Notes

Beijing 2022, costume worn by the flagbearers of the national teams during the Opening Ceremony, and luminous signs for the delegations from Jamaica, Romania, Haiti, Albania and the Philippines. The flagbearers’ costumes were decorated with ice and snow crystals in the style of Chinese paintings. Their hats were shaped like the tiger’s head found in popular culture in Hebei province. Each one is unique and a reminder that 2022 was the Year of the Tiger. Donated by the OCOG
