Old pin representing the State of Indiana, identifiable by the inscription “INDIANA” in white capital letters on a dark green background. The upper part of the pin features a light beige fedora-style hat, treated in enamel, evoking an emblem or symbol associated with the State or American popular culture. To the right of the inscription, a small white enameled droplet or shield-shaped motif is also visible, contrasting with the green background.

The overall shape of the pin is irregular, conforming to the contours of the hat and the inscription area. The perimeter has a shiny gold appearance, typical of vintage enameled finishes. The surface of the pin shows an alternation of smooth and domed areas, highlighting the quality of the enamel work and the precision of the design. The entire decoration is bordered by a golden trim.

The main colors are dark green, beige, white, and touches of gold. No major defects are visible on the front presented, apart from slight traces of use consistent with the object's age.

This enameled badge evokes series of American commemorative or tourist pins, frequently produced in the 80s and 90s, although no precise date is indicated on the visible side. The absence of a brand or manufacturer's indication is to be noted on the photographed side.
