Description | Fifth rank military officer's bear square. In satin stitch, with couched mane and tail (like No. 64); bats and other symbols in Peking knot, outlines in twisted white cord; on blue-black satin. Original border gone. (Has same general pattern as No. 83, but this looks a little earlier; this might have served as the model for No. 83, or more likely, the maker of each used the same pattern as a model). |
