chinese rank badge purses

Chinese Rank Badge Purses are visually beautiful because of the wonderful bullion embroidery. Badges with cranes are  for a First Rank Civil Official and are the most common ones found in purses. The crane is the symbol of longevity and wisdom. These are Quing Dynasty. The last purse with the brass frame may be a 1920's or 1930's Chinese revival version of the rank badge.
