The Chinese tradition of wearing rank badges—also called Mandarin squares—to signify civil, military, or imperial position began in 1391 during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and continued throughout the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). These embroidered emblems, often featuring birds such as mandarins, symbolized virtue, authority, and status within the imperial hierarchy. This artwork reflects the beauty and refinement of these historic insignia.
A timeless touch of cultural heritage for any home or workspace.
