Badge of the Order of the Elephant of Demark

Evrard Bapst 1822

Watch featuring an image of Saint George.

This piece was referred to as a “Lesser George” by the Met Museum.  That seems to imply that it was intended to be a part of the vestments worn by a member of the Order of the Garter.  It is “lesser” as compared to the “Great George,” a large three dimensional figure of Saint George worn about the neck.  Most “Lesser George” figures are on a badge or watch.
