Its precise meaning remains one of archaeology's enduring questions — though it clearly held deep significance to the Pictish peoples who incised it into stone throughout early medieval Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sterling silver brooch renders the crescent and V-rod in openwork form, filling the crescent's interior with intricate Celtic knotwork. The V-rod terminates in small decorative scrolls at each end, faithful to the symbol's characteristic form. Measuring 2\" wide (50mm) by 1\" tall (25mm), it is a striking piece for anyone drawn to Pictish heritage and the mystery of Scotland's early history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS \u0026amp; CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHandcrafted in sterling silver at Walker Metalsmiths in Andover, NY.
