Anti-Vietnam War Metal Pendant and Chain from Australia
Description
An anti-Vietnam War metal pendant and chain produced in Australia between 1965 and 1975. The word 'MORATORIUM'. is engraved into the back of the pendant. The Moratoriums began in 1969 and reached a peak in 1970 to 1971. Throughout its existence, the Moratorium movement identified itself by this sunburst symbol, which came to be used not only by the Moratorium but also by other organisations and groups which supported its aims. The sunburst symbol was chosen by the Moratorium convenors as a striking and memorable design, easily visible in crowds, an important criteria for an identifying badge. Moratorium posters were usually printed in strong colours, often orange and blue or vibrant red and black. This poster was issued by the Vietnam Moratorium Campaign, Sydney.
