Solid Pewter pin with antiqued finish measures 2" x 2" in size. Handmade in Scotland.
The most beautifully detailed Triple Rabbits necklace in solid pewter. We loved creating this extra special piece with its elegant design. Celtic spirals and celestial stars create a unique piece that celebrates Celtic culture and nature.
The three hares dance around a sky filled with stars and each hare's body contains a Celtic spiral - the smooth finish of the hares stands up (bas-relief design) with the background textured and oxidized to help the design stand out. The back of the brooch has a 1 3/4" locking pin.
Symbolism of the Triple Hare
This is an ancient motif going back thousands of years and used by many world cultures. The symbol appears in sacred sites from the Middle and Far East, to the churches of Devon, England (known locally as 'Tinners' Rabbits'). The oldest examples of the 3 hares (or rabbits) have been found in cave temples in China, dating from the 6th and 7th centuries. Rabbits are seen as good luck signs in China, representing peace and tranquility.
The 3 hares are widely associated with Christianity, representing the Holy Trinity (father, son and holy spirit) and in Judaism they are commonly found in synagogues (particularly in Germany). Alongside this it has been used as a mystical symbol associated with fertility, the lunar cycle and the Goddess of nature.
