EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prestigious Insignia of the Order of the Star of India, specifically the Knight Grand Commander version. A symbol of chivalry and honor, this insignia holds a significant historical value as it has not been awarded since the Partition of India in 1947.

It consisted of three classes - Grand Knight Commander, Knight Commander, and Companion.
