Cast copper- or lead-alloy enamelled badge, probably dating from the early modern period, that is c. AD1700-1900. The badge appears to be machine-made with a rough surface to hold the enamel. Most of the enamel is missing, but some of it is still in place. The badge is shield-shaped with a plain reverse. A small stud or pin was soldered to the reverse. The pin/stud is now missing, but some of the solder remains. The shield is per fess, with an unknown charge in the lower half and a lion walking left in the upper half. Background in upper part is azure.
