Object Detail
Brief Description
Rectangular metal badge, bronze-coloured, with a red ribbon attached to the bottom. The badge has a raised design, highlighted in enamel, of the tower that overlooked the olympic stadium in 1952, and the olympic rings. It also has raised letters reading :1952 / XV OLYMPIA / HELSKINKI / HELSINGFORS". The ribbon has black writing that says Voimistele Gymnastique Officiel (probably, it is a bit blurry). There is a safety-pin-like attachment on the back.
