Worn sewn to the chest or back of a formal court robe, this buzi identified its wearer's grade within the strictly ordered civil or military hierarchy of Ming or Qing dynasty China. A specific bird or animal was assigned to each of the nine ranks in both the civil and military branches of officialdom, turning an official's badge into an immediate, legible marker of status. Such badges were produced in embroidery or in fine silk-tapestry weave, according to the wearer's means.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

I would not order from here again without a lot more information up front. It is hard to make out the smaller parts of Buzi Court from more than a few feet away. Delivery took nineteen days with almost no communication. I will look somewhere else next time.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The smallest marks in Buzi Court are still visible, which is the entire point.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. The shading in Buzi Court has a depth I never noticed in books.
Delivery was quick and the tracking actually updated. It captures Buzi Court well enough that I stopped looking for a better one.
