St. Barbara Badge (Coral)
$15.00
St. Barbara is the patron saint of gunners and she also protects her supplicants against lightning. For that reason, in this adaptation of a late 15th-century copper alloy pendant, we have supplied the loop at the bottom of the saint’s pedestal with a piece of coral – described in contemporary lapidaries as protecting against lightning. We figure you can’t be too safe! 1450-1500.
