This finely embroidered textile panel is executed in the style of Qing dynasty court costume decoration, featuring a prominent central crane rank badge (buzi) traditionally associated with civil official attire.The composition is richly detailed with paired five-clawed dragons amidst stylized clouds, auspicious waves, and mountain motifs, symbolic of imperial authority and cosmic harmony within traditional Chinese decorative vocabulary.Worked in polychrome silk threads on a dark ground, the panel displays intricate satin stitch and couched detailing throughout. The symmetrical arrangement of the crane roundel above confronting dragons reflects formal design elements seen in late imperial court garments.Such embroidered panels were often incorporated into ceremonial surcoats or semi-formal court attire, and today are appreciated as decorative textile works suitable for framing or display.
