Spinning Sow Brooch

$5.00

As you can see, although she is unmistakeably spinning, a number of parts are missing.These we filled in, based on the numerous manuscript and printed illustrations of this motif:

Here, from the Pierpont Morgan Library, Book of hours (MS M.6). MS M.6 fol. 79r.

And here, fol. 31r of the Hours of Mary of Burgundy, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 1857.
