EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prestigious Order of Medjidia, a distinguished military decoration from the Ottoman Empire. The badge and plaque depicted here belong to a knight of the 1st class, dating back to the early 19th century. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this piece is made of gold, diamonds, and vibrant enamels. The plate measures approximately D 9.2 cm in diameter and weighs around 120 g, while the badge itself stands at H 7.5 cm with a width of 6.2 cm and weighs about 40 g. This remarkable artifact now resides in a private collection. The Order of Medjidia was an honorary decoration bestowed upon individuals who displayed exceptional service or bravery within the Ottoman Empire's military ranks. Its design reflects both opulence and significance as it features precious materials such as diamonds set against gleaming gold. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this historical treasure through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. With its intricate metalwork and rich symbolism, this photograph transports viewers into a bygone era when honor and valor were highly esteemed in the Middle East. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also recognize the legacy left behind by those who wore these decorations proudly on their chests centuries ago.
