  • Rank badge, blue silk satin with coloured silk and gold thread embroidery, China, Qing dynasty, possibly 1736 - 1820 (en)
  • This roundel had probably been previously embroidered onto a surcoat, such those in navy blue worn by the imperial court during important rituals or ceremonies during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). According to the <i>Huangchao Liqi Tushi</i> (Illustrations of Imperial Ritual Paraphernalia), only the Emperor and his consorts (including the Empress), and the Crown Prince, would have worn roundels bearing front-facing dragons. Although it is certain that this roundel would not have adorned the emperor's surcoat (the <i>gunfu</i>), as it is missing the requisite <i>shou</i> character, and solar and lunar symbols, it is not easy to say if this roundel came from the robe of the Crown Prince or the Consorts.

  • Roundel, probably intended for a robe, embroidered in coloured silks and couched gold thread on a blue silk satin ground. The central feature is a facing 5-clawed dragon which is principally executed in couched gold thread. Beneath the dragon appear <i>ruyi</i> clouds in various colours, auspicious bats, stylised rocks and waves, Buddhist swastika and longevity peaches. The remainder of the ground is embroidered with the 8 Daoist Emblems: the basket of fruit, gourd vase and crutch, flute, sword, lotus, fan, bamboo tube and rods, and the castanets. (en)
