Item Details
Description
19th century framed Chinese textile embroidered rank badge (also called mandarin square) denoting the fifth civil rank symbolized by the bird on the badge - the Silver Pheasant. Did not photograph well - faint pinkish lines are from photography and the colors are brighter than they look on the images. Designs on the background include rocks among waves, sun and bat in flight among swirling clouds, some of the Treasures of the Immortals and the Buddhists. The badge is made for the front of an official’s robe and consists of 2 vertical halves allowing the garment to be opened, currently sawn together. The bird is embroidered on separate fabric, which is sewn on top of the background - as one advances in ranks, the old bird is removed, and the bird corresponding to the next rank is sewn onto the background, thus recycling the square itself. Superb work done in tent stitch, great colors, in excellent condition. Framed, matted and glazed. Size in sight 8.5 x 9 inches, frame 18 x 18.5 inches.
