    REDEEMER ORDER problem


    Recommended Posts

    Dear collector, I would like to ask about the picture of Jesus in the Greek Redemption Order. Can anyone tell me when the picture below falsified Jesus with his index finger? What does it mean? Is there a timeline of pictures of Jesus in the middle of each period? Ask for help! Thank you

    1812--Paul's observation aside....

    German, French, Austrian, Greek and other nations' manufacturers produced such insignia.  If you can find a copy of Tazedakis, Panos N.: The Order of the Redeemer Anatomy and pathology of the insignia of the Greek Order of the Redeemer. Athens 1994.  ISBN 9608552214, you may discover this star's maker [if there're no other identification markings].   I do not have access to this valuable work, having lent mine years ago to someone who never returned it!

    Since the Redeemer is almost always hand-painted, many variations exist, even among those produced in the same time period by the same jeweler.   A good number of original pair Grand Cross and Grand Commander set badges & stars have inconsistent Redeemer portraits.  Major differences besides the 'blessing hand' finger position/proportions include hair color, halo configuration and included symbols,  beard shape, robe trim, and number of lines depicted on the book pages.   Tazedakis attributed these variances to artistic license, if I recall correctly.
