These are a pair of rank badges for a court official of the Manchu-ruled Qing Dynasty of China (1644 - 1911). Both badges were made to adorn the front and back of a navy blue surcoat worn by court officials during ceremonial and courtly functions. Stylised images of birds and animals were respectively used to indicate the different ranks of civil and military officials. This badge depicts a stylised qilin, a mythical beast, and would have been worn by a Military Official of the First Rank.
