<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewEngland, post: 4477927, member: 6071&quot;]Hi Everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Just posting this beautiful embroidered Chinese rank badge, something that was worn to indicate a person&#039;s status. The dragon is four-toed, and from the reading I&#039;ve done online, that could indicate a member of the royal household, i.e. the emperor&#039;s grandson or great grandson.&nbsp; This badge has been put under glass and framed in wood with metal handles - to be used as a tea tray. [ATTACH=full]388425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388427[/ATTACH] The embroidered piece measures about 11&quot; square.&nbsp; Can anyone help me with the age of this piece?&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
