History of the Ex-Mayor's Badge

Combined Pendant and Brooch of modern design originally made in solid 18ct gold but more recently of 9ct gold bearing the Arms, motto and crest of the Borough of Keighley, richly hand painted in Heraldic enamels surmounted by oak leaves, acorns and three fine quality aquamaries blending with the heraldic colours of the Arms.  A royal blue ribbon is attached and the badge is contained in a case of a rich red colour.  The badge is engraved on the reverse side with the name and period of office of the recipient, the case being suitably embossed with the Borough Arms and the initial letters of the recipient's name.
