Unknown arts badge

Urnuh · 04-11-2013, 08:21 AM

A Soviet badge related to arts and music. I thin the badge was made at the end of 1930s. May be early 1940s. Any information on it would be highly appreciated.

A picture of the reserve would be fine.

In most cases this badges have an incription reverse.

best regards

Here is the scan of the reverse of this badge. No inscription though.

Without any context whatsoever, I would guess it it just a fantasy creation. The pieces all look familiar, just not in combination. Also, nothing looks very old at all.

I had a quick look through Avers 8, but wasn´t able to find it.

I agree with Phillip.

In particular the way the chain attaches to the red star worries me a bit. I would have expected a better and more artistic and elegant connection - not just around the threaded post as it appears here.

I believe this be an award for a participant in a cultural art exhibition. Other Badges serving a similar purpose had a rarer similar appearance.
Many of the awards will have been produced by small "shops" rather than mints so the uniformity of industrialised mass production doesn't always ring true.
