Title
Rank
badge
(part
of
set)
Description
These
late
nineteenth
century
rank
badges
were for
use
by
holders
of
civil
office
(as
opposed
to
military
office)
.
Civil
officials
of the
second
rank
were
entitled
to
wear
a
badge
depicting
a
golden
pheasant
;
officials
of the
fifth
rank
used
the
emblem
of a
silver
pheasant
. The
bird
emblems
are
surrounded
by
auspicious
images
. These
rank
badges
could
be
elaborately
produced
,
utilizing
a
range
of
embroidery
stitches
,
metallic
thread
,
kesi
tapestry
weaving
technique
and
appliquéd
motifs
. There are
two
golden
pheasant
rank
badges
in this
set
(although
they have been
photographed
as
one
,
apparently
the
photographer
was
unaware
that there was a
second
identical
badge
below
the
top
one)
; the
one
on the
bottom
is
split
up
the
center
for
attachment
to the
front
of the
garment
.
