Military Rank BadgeN3.25 a-b

A pair of identical vertical rectangles of dark blue silk damask heavily embroidered with silk thread in many colours. Many motifs are outlined with gold thread. The central image of each is a white feline with black spots, edged in fine white stitches representing fur, with a human-like face, and its head turned toward the left. The embroidery creates a three-dimensional effect following the form of the animal. Above and beside the feline, there are cloud forms in various colours. Two red plant forms are below the feline, and white plant-like forms curve toward the feline. Green leaves coming out of a striped stepped form are directly below the feline, beside which, on both sides, there are rainbow-like forms. Each badge is pasted to a backing of paper.
