Double Crane Insignia in Gold Thread

During King Gojong's reign (1863∼1907), the insignia regulation policy allowed high-level officials to wear rank badges with a pair of cranes, while low-level officials had to wear single-crane rank badges. Royal sons-in-law and royal relatives wore a double crane insignia embroidered with gold thread. In the insignia, a pair of cranes are placed at the center holding herb of eternal youth in their mouth. Symbols of waves (水波) and mountain with triple peaks (三山) are located below the cranes, and clouds surround the cranes. In the insignia, cloud-treasure pattern is embroidered with gold wrapped thread on dark bluish-purple fabric using couching stitch. The top of each crane's head is colored in red using seed stitch.
