Applied, guilded centre plate with silver scroll at the base - "The Connaught Rangers" - wire attachment to centre plate. Centre feature of silver stringed Harp of Erin over silver scroll "Quis Seperabit" - both silver wire attachment over green cloth (tested as organic - definately not synthetic) to cental backing plate. Small pools of guilding are visible at sides of laurel wreath. Some traces of gilt oversplash.
