I believe this is some kind of all access badge used by members of the various organizing committees of the carnival. It is silver plate on copper with enamel decoration. The top reads "Lachen Spende Truebsal Wende" literally "Laugh Donation Sorrow Change" and "Grosser Mainzer Carneval Asschuss" literally "Greater Mainz Carnival Committee". So the motto appears to be along the line of "Come to the carnival and buy/donate and your mood will change from sorrow to laughter". The bottom is self explanatory. There is a stamp on the back Madler Mainz which I assume is the maker Wagner Madler Jewelers in Mainz. Richard Wagner did not join Valentin Madler until the reconstruction (post WW2). Measures 1 7/8 x 2 1/2 inches. Original rope necklace, and there is also a small bell attachment.h1
