| Description | Pair of fifth rank military officer's bear squares. Satin stitch on blue-black satin; waves in split satin stich; a few Peking knots in the flowers. As a variation on a bear, the animal is whitish instead of blue, but has the usual shape. The standard Greek fret border may date this to the mid-1800s or later, placing it towards the end of the Daoguang Period (1821 - 1850 CE). |
