Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. The original “Rank Badge with Dragon with Deer Hooves” exemplifies the Chinese tradition of embroidered Mandarin squares used to signify civil, military, or imperial rank. Originating in 1391 during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and continuing through the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), these rank badges were more than symbols of status—they were masterpieces of textile art. The dragon, depicted here with deer hooves, represents power, virtue, and auspicious transformation, blending mythic symbolism with the elegance of imperial design. This reproduction captures that timeless blend of artistry, heritage, and celestial grace.
