The pin badge is a detailed asymmetrical branch sprig crafted from patinated silver-colored metal. It features a hinged horizontal pin stem on the reverse side secured by a simple C-clasp catch. The piece is 5.7 cm wide.

The pin badge features a highly detailed, three-dimensional evergreen sprig layered with textured pine needles and three prominent, layered pinecones clustered along the bottom edge. The visual layout mimics a natural branch cuttings motif, which carries a symbolic meaning deeply connected to forestry, a respect for woodland habitats, and traditional central European sportsmanship milestones.
This traditional style of botanical adornment, often called a úlovek or myslivecký odznak in the Czech Republic, is historically worn on hat bands or lapels during outdoor gatherings and hunting celebrations. Originating in the mid-to-late 20th century, these cast tokens represent an enduring passion for regional woodsmanship and nature conservation.
