This rare Chinese embroidered cover from the early 19th century features an imposing crane, akin to the Japanese fukusa but significantly larger. While its layout resembles a style of rank badge, this textile is approximately nine times larger than those badges. Originally from a California estate, this textile remains in good condition, with no damage to the abundant embroidery. However, there are several noticeable silk splits within the dark silk background, including a prominent long split near the lower right edge, where the facing cloth meets the backing cloth. To preserve it properly, this textile should be handled with care and ideally mounted or backed by a textile restorer to address the silk splitting.

Measuring approximately 37 inches by 36 inches (94 cm x 91 cm), this cover includes four corner tassels that remain in good condition. Two gallery images showcase the textile's backside, offering additional insight into its construction and craftsmanship.
