This gold and enamel insignia, "Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw, commandeur," is a Commander's badge of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, dating from 1838 to 1854. Designed by Petit en van Tongeren, this intricate piece features a white enamel eight-pointed star with a blue enamel roundel inscribed "VIRTUS MORILI TAT" (Virtue, Strength, Loyalty) at its center. The star is framed by gold filigree work and crowned by a golden royal crown. It's a striking example of Dutch decorative arts and reflects the tradition of recognizing merit and service through such honors.
