Insignia and Button

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The insignia features a gold-colored metal star shape with eight points and a textured surface. The star has a central circle with a heart-shaped cutout. Eight smaller circles are attached around the star's points. The star hangs from a triangular ribbon with diagonal orange and white stripes. To the right of the star is a small bow made of the same ribbon, with a round white piece attached underneath. The background is a plain gray surface. The insignia and button are likely related to an award or honor.
