Pelican Pendant (3-Dimensional)

$20.00$25.00 plain/painted

An adaptation as a pendant or medallion, and into pewter. of the famous three-dimensional gold brooch (probably originally enameled, but no longer) in the British Museum, dated to the late fourteenth-century. A pastiche – to our thinking within the normal medieval range of similar motifs appearing in both precious and base metals.

This is a large, splendid, three-dimensional pendant with a baby bird that stands proud of the branch it is on, and a navette glass stone in a cast bezel attached to the pelican’s breast to represent the blood (as does the cabochon ruby in the gold brooch in London). A beautiful medallion for the Members of the Order of the Pelican (SCA).
