Insignia badges were first introduced shortly after the establishment of the Ming dynasty in 1368. The earliest laws governing insignia badges date from 1391,which specified that imperial dukes were permitted to wear badges decorated with the mythical qilin. However, during the Ming period, the right to actually wear the appropriate badge also had to be granted by the emperor himself as an honor. Rank itself did not entitle even the highest noble to wear insignia badges.

A nearly identical badge was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 May 2012, lot 4029. Another badge of this design, but woven on a red ground, in the Chris Hall Collection, is illustrated in B. Jackson and D. Hugus, in Ladder to the Clouds, 1999, p. 111.
