This interesting badge is a lost wax casting which has had the strings of the harp and the Welsh motto engraved. There are residual traces of original gilt finish here and there. The style of construction would suggest some royal appointment, as the use of the royal crown was fairly carefully guarded at this period.
Beyond that, I would be delighted if anyone has any ideas as to what this really is.
It is just under 6cm high and the condition for the age of the piece is pretty good.
