Vintage Uffington Horse brooch

SKU: RF-0048 Category: Tags: , , , , ,

SKU: RF-0048

Rare vintage brooch. Could this be based on the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordhire, England. The round brooch seems to have interlocking animals around the central cross.
Possibly silver but there are no silver marks visible, if not it’s probably pewter.
Dimensions: 4.2 x 4 cms.

UFFINGTON HORSE
The Uffington White Horse is a prehistoric hill figure, 110 m long, formed from deep trenches filled with crushed white chalk. Over the centuries the chalk has been cleaned of vegetation and has become an annual ritual called scouring.
It’s original purpose is unknown but some say it may represent the Celtic horse goddess Epona or the Welsh goddess Rhiannon.
