EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Afghanistan - Order of the Empire Durrani, a prestigious honor from the 19th century. The first-class plate, belonging to Colonel Sir Thomas Willshire, is a true masterpiece crafted by Hamlet in London. Made with gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, and enamels, this stunning piece measures 8.3 cm in diameter and weighs 80 g. On the left side of the image rests another remarkable artifact: a first-class badge adorned with gold, pearls, and enamels. Its intricate design stands at 7.5 cm tall and 6.5 cm wide while weighing an impressive 60 g. The right side presents yet another first-class badge owned by Colonel Sir Thomas Willshire himself. This English-made treasure features delicate details made of gold, pearls, and enamels. It stands at 6.6 cm tall and measures 5.9 cm wide with a weight of approximately 40 g. At the bottom lies a second-class breast insignia manufactured in Afghanistan during the second third of the nineteenth century. This golden piece embellished with beads and enamels has a diameter of 6.2 cm and weighs around 20 g. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures these extraordinary artifacts from her private collection for all to admire today as they were out of copyright when she took them.
