With the expression of a painting-like egret and brief but beautiful background, this is presumed to be the insignia of early Joseon period. The textile has the patterns of cloud in gold-threaded couched loops. The egret is looking up at the sky with one foot on the stone. The lower part shows the river with water plants instead of typical scene of a mountain of a wave.
