Brass-colored metal pendant in the shape of a shield. The shield has a pointed top and a flat bottom. The exterior frame of the pendant is made of curved metal that extends outward and then inward forming points on four sides with a small circle on the end of each point. The center of the pendant features a raised rectangular shape resembling a building. There are three small raised rectangles on top of the building with two on either side slightly below. The pendant is attached to a small loop at the top. The background of the image is gray.
