"Celtic Horses Brooch" $12.99

The ancient Celts held their clothing and particularly their cloaks closed with brooches or pins. These were decorated either with the classic and sinuous Celtic 'eternal' weave pattern, or a particular animal or bird of symbolic importance. This new brooch has both, with 3 intertwined horses that played such an important part in Celtic mythology. Horses were the sacred animal of their Goddess Epona (called Rhiannon in Welsh mythology), and the association dates far back into pre-Christian history when the Celts were a pastoral tribe. This is an affordable and very lovely brooch, in lead-free pewter, and is a faithful replica of the kinds of brooches worn bt the Celts to close their cloaks. It measures 1 and 7/8" in diameter and closes in back with a standard pin closure. This looks smashing against a Renaissance or Celtic Faire cloak, but also gives a lot of dash and style to a modern coat or blazer. to visit my Ruby Lane Store

"Celtic Triskele Cloak Pin" $12.99

The ancient Celts fastened their clothing with pins or brooches, decorated in their distinctive flowing style of art. This is a faithful replica of the larger round brooches used to fasten cloaks. It is decorated in the ancient Celtic 'triskele' or triple-wave pattern, with smaller 'triquetra' or triple pointed patterns. The center is the classic spiral, symbolizing eternal regeneration. It is made of lead-free pewter, and measures 1 & 7/8" diameter. This might have fastened the cloak on some ancient Celtic chieftain or lady. Looks great with Celtic or Renaissance Faire garb, but also makes a jacket lapel look very special! The retail value of this cloak brooch in a good Museum or historical reproduction jewelry catalog would be about $40. to visit my Ruby Lane Store
