These badges were designed to facilitate the change in rank of officials, so the central space would have been left blank to be successively filled with the design of an animal or bird. Badges worn in pair, such as these two, would carry a design with the two animals facing opposite ways, with the animals of the back badge facing left. In some cases however, badges for wives of officials would reverse such practice so that the animals on the respective outer coats would face each other.
