Item Description

Regarded as status symbols, civil rank badges were a form of public prestige awarded to accomplished scholars. This exquisite civil fifth-rank badge depicts a graceful silver pheasant, which is a symbol of beauty and good fortune. The silver pheasant with its five plumy tail feathers is perched on a decorative sea rock. Auspicious symbols rendered in a chic combination of indigo blue and creamy white encircle the beautifully detailed bird. An elegant array of ornate lotus blossoms, bian fu bats and spiraling ruyi-shaped clouds surround the important imperial sun. Ruyi-shaped motifs also decorate the surface of the sea separating the decorative background from the tonal deepwater lishui stripes. Fretwork borders depicting pinyin wan motifs create a fitting enclosure that complements the lavish style of this antique Chinese rank badge.
