The first invaders of England were the Celts. The animals and birds were sacred to the Celts and bird or animals parts represent many of their gods and spirits. The changing of form (shape shifting) was said to have been used by the Druids who were able to change into different wild animals.
The image of the boar was very popular in Celtic times and appeared as figures, as helmet crests, as sword stamps and on coinage, confirming their particular associations with warfare and power.
This Celtic Boar pendant is made from lead-free pewter and is supplied on a waxed cord. The information card is full colour on the front and has historical information on the reverse.
