The design of this brooch is loosely based on a Scottish targe (shield) with decorated panels of intricate Celtic knotwork. The reverse is set with a hinged pin and safety clasp and is hallmarked 925 sterling silver. Designed by the celebrated Scottish Arts & Crafts maker Alexander Ritchie, it was made by the Scottish firm Iona Legends.
The brooch design is featured in a book on ‘Iona Celtic Art: The Works of Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie’ by E. Mairi MacArthur, p.75.
*Please note that these brooches are small batch productions and the images are stock photographs. Due to the items being handmade, there may be very minor differences in each, for example, the location of the hallmarks.
