A wild goose in flight marked a fourth-rank civil official under the Ming and Qing dynasty system of court insignia, in which nine distinct bird species distinguished the grades of civil office from first to ninth rank. The goose was prized in Chinese culture as a symbol of marital fidelity and orderly conduct, virtues fitting for an official's public badge of rank. Sewn to a formal robe, this badge made its wearer's position within the imperial bureaucracy instantly legible.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
