Russia, Bokhara, Order of the Noble Bokhara, First Class Star of local 'bazaar' manufacture, 71mm, silver and enamel, very fine, rare

The Order of the Noble Bokhara was instituted in 1881, under the reign of Emir Muzaffar al-Din bin Nasr-Allah, who presented Alexander II with the Grand Cross, who reciprocated with a First Class of the Order of St. Anne. Upon institution the Order consisted of only a Star, but eventually existed in seven classes, until its abolishment following the overthrow and murder of the Emir in 1917. Primarily destined for Russian Officers and advisors, it was also locally distributed to the military and civil rulers within the Emirate. The Emirate of Bokhara was under the domination of the Russian Empire from 1875, in the modern-day Republic of Uzbekistan.
