Overview
Example of a Feilding Borough Councillor decorative badge. Gold coloured metal badge with black, yellow, green, red, cream, light blue, clear and blue enamel on the front. The badge has a bar at the top with a circle below attached to each other by two gold coloured metal loops. The bar at the top of the badge is bordered in gold and has a gold scroll above it at the top. In gold on the black enamel background within the bar is 'COUNCILLOR'. Attached to the bar at the bottom in the middle is a gold metal loop. This gold metal loop goes through the gold metal loop attached to the gold scroll at the top of the lower circle-shaped part of the badge. There are two gold bordered black enamel banners within the circle; one around the edge of the top half of the circle and one around the edge of the bottom half. In gold within the banner at the top is 'BOROUGH OF FEILDING'. In gold within the banner at the bottom is '1881'. Where the two banners meet at either side in the middle there is one clear enamelled gold-backed bell-shape. In the middle of the circle is a shield on a gold background. Within the gold bordered shield there is a light blue enamel cross dividing the shield into four. In the top left there is a gold outlined yellow enamel bunch of wheat on a blue enamel background. In the top right there is a gold outlined red enamel cow on a green enamel background. In the bottom left there is a gold outlined cream enamel sheep on a green enamel background. On the bottom right there is a gold outlined green enamel tree on a blue enamel background. On the back of the top bar of the badge is a pin clasp. On the top left of the bar and bottom of the circle 'SILVER' has been stamped on the gold coloured metal.
