| Description | Fifth rank silver pheasant mandarin square. Dating to the later 17th century, the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, this is a rare example of the survival of a bird done in the Ming dynasty style, with many straight-edged feathers, instead of the later scalloped-edge style. The birds and clouds use a rich Kangxi-style of satin stitch over hog bristles on a couched gold background. In good condition, except for the loss of peacock feathers from rock and border background. |
