The visible side features a deep blue hue, covered with a shiny and uniform enamel. At the center of the flag is a stylized bird, resembling a heraldic pelican, an emblematic motif of Louisiana, rendered in gold and beige relief. The design shows the bird with open wings, perched on a light background, above a clear horizontal band, typical of the State's coat of arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outline of the pin is highlighted by a gold metallic-looking border, which faithfully follows the undulations of the flag. The top left features a flagpole-shaped point, adding realism to the representation. The main colors are enamelled blue, the gold of the motif and outline, and touches of beige on the bird and the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the pin has a smooth, shiny finish, with some signs of wear or micro-scratches visible at certain angles, indicating its age. The enamel retains a beautiful depth of color despite some minor surface irregularities. No legible inscription appears on the front, apart from the heraldic motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is compact, typical of flag pins, with well-defined contours. The reverse is not visible in the photo, but the presence of a yellow clasp behind the flag suggests a classic pin fastening system, though details cannot be described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis badge has a retro aesthetic, probably from the late 20th century, with a manufacturing style common in the 1980s-1990s for regional or tourist badges. The overall impression is that of a souvenir or representative item, with a careful finish despite signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
