A sash badge, crafted of silver with white enamels in the shape of an eight-pointed star, with clusters of three intermediate rays with cleft endings, the obverse centre exhibiting a beautiful glass cabochon in red colour, the reverse presenting a double-sided design, suspended by a green and violet enamel imperial symbol of the Paulonia flowers, with Japanese lettering on the reverse standing for “Order of Merit Decoration'', measuring 75.8 mm (w) x 115.5 mm (l - inclusive Paulonia flowers suspension), weighing 130.19 grams, accompanied by original full-length sash with bow.
