EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite insignias from Ethiopia, dating back to the late 19th century. The top insignia represents the Order of the Solomon Seal, crafted with gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, and emals. Standing at a height of 11.6 cm and weighing 60 g, it exudes opulence and grandeur. The bottom insignia is equally stunning as it depicts the great cross of the Order of the Star of Ethiopia. Made from gold and adorned with glass cabochons, this honorary decoration stands at a height of 10.7 cm and measures 7.8 cm in width. Weighing an impressive 90 g, it exemplifies prestige and distinction. Both these artifacts are part of a private collection belonging to Luisa Ricciarini who graciously shared this glimpse into Ethiopian history through her photograph. The intricate craftsmanship showcased in these pieces highlights Africa's rich metalworking tradition. The combination of precious stones like diamonds and rubies alongside fine metals such as gold creates a visual spectacle that symbolizes wealth and prosperity associated with these orders in Ethiopia's past. This image not only offers us a glimpse into Ethiopian culture but also serves as a reminder of the significance placed on honorific decorations within societies worldwide throughout history.
