ARTIFACT: This is a Chinese Order of the Double Dragon, IV Class from the early 20th century. The Imperial Double Dragon was awarded during the Qing Dynasty, which lasted from the mid-seventeenth century until 1912. Initially bestowed only upon recipients from other countries, the medal was made available to Chinese who served the royalty in some outstanding fashion beginning in 1908. This medal was probably made in Europe. It is a sunburst shaped medal with two dragons circling a blue orb beneath a smaller sun.

VINTAGE: Circa early 20th century.

SIZE: Approximately 2-1/4" diameter (without ring); ribbon is 20-1/2" in total length.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Silver, enamel, glass/ceramic stones, silk ribbon, metal buckle.
