A new relic from an ancient relic ... a wonderfully rustic medieval hare seal relic intaglio necklace pendant, this one in bronze with a simple sterling silver loop on the same plane and an additional ss loop for suspension.

The hare is surrounded by a Latin legend, in the reverse, that reads PRIVESV and translates I AM PRIVATE which was a common legend on non heraldic medieval seals and refers to the seals role in closing a private letter with sealing wax. 
I've added a portion of a rustic quatrefoil key as a bail for the pendant because the quatrefoil was a prominent design element in medieval times, appearing in architecture, heraldry, and jewelry.
Very unique and meaningful medieval wax seal jewelry.

- approximate intaglio measurement - 5/8" (15mm)
- thickness - 3/32" (3mm) so it's substantial
- intaglio seal charm metal - bronze
- suspension loops - sterling silver
- shown with a US dime and an inch ruler for scale
- charm only, chain sold separately
- shown on an oxidized sterling silver cable chain available here

I've sand cast just the hare intaglio portion of a small medieval (14th - 15th century) bronze chessman wax seal, cleaned it up (see the 3rd from last photo of the freshly sand cast hare). Hand crafted one at a time in my little studio because how it's made matters.
