St. Catherine’s Wheel Brooch

St. Catherine’s Wheel is the instrument upon which this 3rd century saint was almost martyred. When the Roman emperor’s diabolical engine was put into motion to destroy the saint, it burst into shrapnel and killed many of the bloodthirsty onlookers. This piece is a copy of a British brooch, one of many similar extant badges, although a specific shrine cannot be identified as the source. We also offer a large sign that shows the saint herself.
