Gorget for an Officer of the South Carolina Infantry Regiment
Brass gorget, curved like a crescent with rounded ends. The front features an etched scene with three men and several circular emblems, with small holes at the top on each side. The men are standing or sitting and are dressed in period military dress with hats and rifles. The surface is scratched and shows signs of wear. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
