Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Orden "Mariana Grajales" is another order intended exclusively for women. It takes precedence over the Orden "Ana Betancourt". Sorry, the only image I have is a b/w photo of not too good quality.The order has one class. The badge is a multirayed silver star with a gilt medallion in the center. The ring surrounding the medallion is green enameled.This is what Decreto-Ley #30 says about it:ORDER "MARIANA GRAJALES" is conferred to female citizens of Cuba, whose labor in any sphere of creative work would constitute an exceptional example of revolutionary or internationalist activity; or for extraordinary acts towards the creation of the new generations, for achievements towards the full incorporation of the woman into the society, for the development of the country or the defense of our motherland; to foreign female citizens whose labor in any sphere brings significant benefit to their nations or the humanity, always contributing to the crossing of international boundaries, and who distinguish themselves in defense of revolutionary ideals, anti-imperialist struggle and for the liberation and independence of the people.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks, it is a great piece, but it seems to be the pre-Castro type. I have never seen it before. Do you have any information about it? Is it me, or are there knives around the medallion? Could you please send a bigger photo?Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That would be a beautiful Order if she didn't look like Abe Vigoda!!!! Aside from all the bayonets--which sure make it look like a military Order, I'm surprised to see this was a pinback Order rather than on a ribbon. The other pinback Orders all (?) seem to have been military.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
