Folk-Art Badges
I am fascinated by the early badges of the Soviet Union with their folk-art-type designs. I wished I could project myself into the background of a badge, the originator, the designer, the jeweler, the recipient.
Here is an award for a leather worker showing a rifle and a crutch above the working man. Are these symbols supposed to show that he is motivated in his work by his desire to help the comrades wounded in the fight to secure the Soviet Union (state symbold attached at the top)? What a great way to tell a story if one could just read it today.
