Miniature pentagonal silver star with graduated chiselled rayed arms with ball-tipped finials and loop to the upper reverse with ring bearing silver hallmarks and maker’s mark; the face with a circular central blue enamel medallion bearing a gilt five-pointed star with red enamel arms within a gilt ring and decorative gilt surround; the reverse plain; diameter 15.38mm (0.6 inch); without ribbon. The miniature came from the workshops of De Greef of Brussels. We have been unable to establish the identity of the Order but it is most probably East Asian.
