The old "Order of Art"

In the Pahlavi period (1925 to 1935), Order of Art was a star-shaped symbol with eight feathers around it and a lion and sun sitting in the center of a circle. The background of the central circle was painted with green and blue enamel. The ribbon of the order was also green.[4]
