The openwork design depicts\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaint George on horseback defeating the dragon\u003c\/strong\u003e, surrounded by the celebrated motto:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp

of\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Most Noble Order of the Garter\u003c\/strong\u003e.\nIn addition to the broad ceremonial sash presentation, the Lesser George has also historically\nbeen associated with a more restrained \u003cstrong\u003enarrow blue neck-ribbon presentation\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis version recreates that distinctive appearance by pairing the substantial\n\u003cstrong\u003e84.9 mm Lesser George\u003c\/strong\u003e with a finely finished royal blue neck ribbon.\nThe result is elegant, visually balanced, and particularly suitable for collectors who prefer\nthe classic neck-worn presentation over the much larger ceremonial sash.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLarge 84.9mm Lesser George\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe centerpiece of this set is the large openwork Lesser George badge,\ncarefully formed in \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass\u003c\/strong\u003e.\nIts substantial size gives the Saint George and Dragon composition a strong three-dimensional presence,\nwhile the ornamental suspension and surrounding Garter border retain the distinctive historic character\nof the
