Item Details
Description
19th century Chinese textile rank badge (also called mandarin square) denoting the fifth civil rank symbolized by the bird on the badge - the Silver Pheasant, made for the back of an official’s robe. The bird is embroidered on separate fabric, which is sewn on top of the background - the idea behind that is that as one advances in ranks, the old bird is removed, and the bird corresponding to the next rank is sewn on the background, thus recycling the square itself. The bird is standing on rocks above stylized waves with two differently colored lotus flowers issuing from water surface, all on lattice background. Superbly done in brick and satin stitch, excellent colors, beautiful borders, in great condition. Size 8 1/2 x 9 inches.
