Wheel coin with feline "flower"
€190.00
A wheel coin is a pendant belonging to traditional clothes in some parts of Estonia. Hundreds of years ago was one such pendant costing as much as the price of one half of a farmstead, so those pendants were passed on to the next generation. A wheel coin pendant consisted of the coin and the spikes around the coin.
There are traditional patterns but I myself prefer letting my fantasy flow further, trying to connect the ancestors, the Nature and the present, sometimes also the playfulness. I know there were masters like this hundreds of years ago and I follow them with admiration.
I wanted to make this wheel coin as small as possible, so I looked for a very small coin. I chose the Estonian 5-cent-coin which was removed from use at one point, because it got useless as all the prices got too high.
Well, yes, the surroundings of the coin seems to be a flower. But it is also a bit like scratched by a cat with some special artistic taste. Ummm... there are three lions on the coin.
Material: silver 925, copper and brass
Diameter: 3,8 cm
Height (with the hook): 4,7 cm
