This badge pairs a peacock, the emblem of a third-rank Chinese civil official, with a dragon, a motif tied to imperial and noble status rather than the standard nine-rank system for officialdom. The combination suggests either a badge for a title of special distinction or a decorative textile drawing loosely on the vocabulary of official rank insignia. Peacocks were valued in Chinese symbolism for their beauty and dignity, echoing the refinement expected of a civil official's public image.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

The condition it arrived in tells me somebody packs these by hand. The smaller elements of peacock dragon are clear enough to reward a close look.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. The colors are richer and warmer than a screen can show. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. Worth every dollar and then some.
I have already recommended this shop to three people. The smallest marks in peacock dragon are still visible, which is the entire point. It transformed a stairwell that had felt unfinished for years. The reproduction quality makes the price look like a mistake in my favor.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.
It made the breakfast nook feel finished in a way I could not manage on my own. I have been hunting for a good version of peacock dragon for two years.
The quality is better than most of what I have seen at this price. The fringe on this pillow is even and tightly finished. It has been in a bright room for a month with no fading so far. I am pleased with how this turned out.
