Description

A circular metal pendant with a ceramic center. A metal faux gold border resembling a chain link with individual leaves angled toward the right encircles the ceramic center. The ceramic center has a 5-point star outlined in black at its center, with each point/triangle a different color (red, green, white, blue, and yellow). Each triangle/point depicts a black ink symbol within the triangle. In the center of the star is a pentagon in black with a white representation of a podium and book. There is a loop (clasp) on the reverse of the pendant, but no chain is currently attached.
