Summary
A circular Paddington Bear lapel badge, with the words 'Please look after this bear' written at the top and 'thank you' at the bottom.

The image is printed on paper and covered in clear plastic. The metal back has a rim, in which a piece of copper coloured wire is bent around and across to form the badge pin.
