Chinese Late Qing Silk Embroidered Mandarin Rank Badge

Chinese late Qing dynasty (late 19th century) woman's rank badge embroidered with a central satin-stitched silver pheasant with very nicely detailed feathers. A single bat hovers below the sun at the upper right. This Mandarin square would have been worn by the wife of a 5th rank civil official. The badge is backed with stiff paper covered with blue silk and is bordered on the front in red silk. This rank badge measures 8 3/8"V x 9 1/8"H. It is in very good overall condition with some minor soiling and wear visible. There are five small tape stains on the back. This textile is from an Arizona estate and was previously framed.
