Material: Embroidered cloth on cotton base
Dimensions: 70mm
Description: This original circular cloth insignia serves as an official uniform shoulder patch worn by global military personnel assigned to the United Nations. Embroidered on a robust sky-blue cotton twill backing, the central design highlights the canonical UN emblem rendered entirely in dense white embroidery thread. The central graphic maps a polar azimuthal equidistant projection of the world surrounded by two beautifully symmetrical olive branches representing global peace. Arching along the top crest, the unilingual English text explicitly states the organization's name in clear, stylized block letters flanked by an inner and outer embroidered circular border.
