EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the insignia of the Ottoman Empire's Order of the Crescent. Crafted at the beginning of the 19th century, this honorary decoration is a testament to both exquisite craftsmanship and cultural significance. The insignia, measuring 5.5 cm in height and 3.5 cm in width, is made from gold and emaux, radiating an aura of opulence and splendor. Its delicate design reflects the influence of French manufacture during that era. As a symbol deeply rooted in Muslim religion and Islamic tradition, this prestigious order holds immense value within Ottoman society. It represents honor, loyalty, and distinction bestowed upon individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service or achievements. Preserved within a private collection today, this precious artifact serves as a tangible link to an empire that once spanned across continents. Its presence evokes images of grandeur and power associated with the Middle East during its heyday. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every intricate detail through her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its physical beauty but also its historical significance. This photograph invites us to delve into centuries past while reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's most influential empires - The Ottoman Empire.
