This Chinese silk kesi rank badge probably depicts a sixth civil rank egret. It dates to about 1875. It had modern brocade borders and backing applied sometime within the past 20 years. The overall condition is good, with no tears, splits or losses, but slight fading overall. Some details were painted rather than woven. Measurements are 33.8cm X 33.8cm or 13 1/4 inches X 13 1/4 inches.
