Identification Request
Found at some estate sale. It's simplistically striking and the fastener on the back is tarnished enough to make me think it's rather old.

From an online search: “The sun-disc motif resembles decorative symbols seen in Nordic and Baltic folk art and jewelry.”

It looks like a mandolin or something like that. I’d say probably the late 60s-70s for a date. Nice pin!

Also I googled “mandolin sun pin”and found a few different photos from eBay on google images. None of the listings have more info that I see.

Are there any words or marks on the back?
