Ten-pointed silver star of five long and five short rayed, chiselled arms, on elaborate geometric suspension; the face with an imposed five-pointed pale blue enamel star, each clechée arm bearing an elaborate gilt geometric pattern, a red enamel circular central medallion inscribed with the name of the Order in gilt Arabic letters within a beaded border, encircled by an enamel ring of deep blue wavy lines punctuated with a band of gilt and pale blue dashes; the reverse plain with silver hallmarks and maker’s mark for Bichay of Cairo; on replaced correct full-length neck ribbon, lacking ties. The Order was instituted in 1953 to be awarded to civilians, both Egyptian and foreign, for exceptional merit and for service to the state. It was modified in 1972 when the suspension became a gilt eagle. A superb earlier example of the highest quality.
