The Grand Order of the Renaissance (Arabic: وسام النهضة الأعظم, romanized: Wisam al-Nahdat al-Aezam) is an order of Oman.[1]

History

The order was established in 1982 by Sultan Qaboos bin Said prior to his state visit to the United Kingdom. It is not divided into separate classes[2]

Insignia

The insignia was created by Spink & Son and consists of a collar, riband, badge, and star.[3] The ribbon is green with a yellow and red striped border. The badge is a gold eight pointed star with petal shaped points bordered by diamonds. In between each petal is a small point with alternating rubies and emeralds. The center is green enamel with a white enamel border both with gold Arabic calligraphy.[3] The star has the same design but with gold rays between each petal point.[4]
