This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Belgium Order of Leopold bracelet adorned with the portrait of Leopold II. Created in the late 19th century, this exquisite bracelet is an extraordinary work of art. Crafted from gold, diamonds, and turquoise, it exudes opulence and elegance. The miniature on ivory captures the likeness of Leopold II, who reigned as King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909. This honorary decoration was offered by Leopold II himself to Henry Morton Stanley, a renowned explorer who played a significant role in African expeditions during that time. Measuring at H 2.6 cm and W 20.5 cm with a weight of 110 g, this bracelet is truly one-of-a-kind. The medallion featuring Leopold II's portrait measures H 7 cm and W: 4.6 cm.
