About This Design

Chinese Dragon Mandarin Square Rank Badge Poster

Chinese Dragon Mandarin Square Rank Badge Poster

We've digitally enhanced a museum photograph of a rank badge or mandarin square from China's Qing Dynasty (1641-1911). This rank badge depicting a dragon with deer hooves consisted of embroidered metallic thread on silk. Dragon rank badges were worn by the emperor and his family members. The Chinese dragon was considered a benevolent being bringing rain and representing strength, goodness and blessings. This badge was made sometime in the 18th-19th century. Mandarin squares or rank badges were large embroidered insignia, usually squares, that were embroidered on the surcoats of imperial officials in China, Korea and Vietnam. The sewing consisted of colourful animals and birds, some mythical. The various ranks of the officials were signified by the type of animal or bird worn. Military officials had animals for insignia while civil officials had birds. The rank badges of the emperor and imperial family was some form of a dragon. Rank badges appear to have been first authorised in the late 14th century in the Ming Dynasty of China.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
