Motherly Love - Pelican with Chicks

Handcrafted from an antique wax seal stamp from early 1800 England, this talisman features the "Pelican in her piety" which is a medieval European image that depicts a mother pelican feeding her young by piercing her breast with her beak. This is a symbol of ultimate motherly love and self-sacrifice.

This is also a symbol of the Eucharist - Jesus shed his blood for us. Many family crests, churches and cathedrals across the Christian world display such an image.

This fine silver talisman is approximately a 1/2” x 5/8” oval and hangs from an 18" stainless steel baby ball chain that closes with a ball chain connector clasp. Other types of chains are sold separately.

Each piece of jewelry from The Silver Acorn comes packaged in a tasteful gift box with a meaning card ready for gift-giving.

Handcrafted in my studio in Spokane, Washington, each symbolic wax seal item from The Silver Acorn is hand-stamped in reclaimed fine silver or bronze and will be slightly different and uniquely yours.
