Cross of Mayar - Pendant

Mayar is part of Angus, one of the first territories of Scotland where the Picts settled and this pendant also shows a lot of Pictish influences in its intriguing knot pattern: The external circle and the circle at the centre of the cross symbolize the material and the spiritual realm. These two realms are connected by a Celtic cross standing for the upper realm of the gods. By virtue of its traditionally and deeply rooted symbolism the cross of Mayar emanates pure beauty, strength and love..
 
This pendant is made of pewter, a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal.
