This is a square metal slave badge set on point with clipped corners. On the recto is text that reads ”CHARLESTON [stamped]” across the top. Under that is “No. [stamped] 646 [punched] / SERVANT [stamped] / 1827 [stamped].” On the verso is a stamped cartouche at the bottom with the maker's name “LAFAR.” There is a hole punched at the center top.
