Rank insignia (buzi) in kesi decorating with a front-facing five-clawded dragon flying in the sky amidst the clouds, embroidered with silk of muted tones and couched gold threads, on a deep green ground. Mounted on a carved wood panel.

Called mandarin square, the buzi is an insignia worn by court officals to signify their status in the civil or military sphere. Two badges were attached to the costume, one in the front which was split to allow the garment to be buttoned, the other on the back. The badges were first introduced during the Ming period in 1391. Buzi with dragon are rare because only a Prince of the Blood who had been granted the right to wear the five-clawed creature by the emperor can worn it. (and of course the emperor).
