Comments:
Godden records this individual silk, although he does not record the overall badge made up of the three seperate silks.

This silk was registered individually on 9 January 1864.

It should be noted the silk above has a circular flower design at the very top, and the outer border is itself ornate with circles.
There is an almost identical silk, recorded as omu 16; the differences being there is a double leaf design at the very top, and the outer border is plain.
