Rank Badge with Crane

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white embroidered square textile with a border of interlocking designs. A pattern of interlocking geometric shapes is in the background. A crane with outstretched wings stands on one leg on a rocky outcropping in the center. The outcropping and stylized waves are at the bottom. The crane faces left, with a sun or moon in the top right corner. A decorative border frames the square, with a repeating pattern and circular design within it. The text "Rank Badge with Crane" is associated with the image.
