PEWTER HORSE HEAD PENDANT/NECKLACE CHARM

This beautiful horse head was crafted in Oregon, USA of solid, pure pewter. It measures about 1 3/4 inches tall. The design is on the front side only.

This is a wonderful horse head, with strong, striking facial features and a flowing mane. The relief is deep and realistic. It is ready for stringing on a necklace with the integral small ring at the top. An impressive piece, large enough to be a real "eye-catcher" yet just the right size to hang around your neck, or be a part of a larger creation. Another great offering from Primitive Originals Beads.

Pewter is an alloy consisting of mainly tin and containing antimony for strength and copper for coloring. Although vessels made of it have been dated about 3500 years ago, it really was developed by the Romans in England during their presence there (the Roman Empire). After a few hundred years of a virtual monopoly by England, it migrated to Europe, then to the American colonies. At first, American pewter was reworked items obtained damaged from Europe; later reformulation worldwide (substituting antimony for lead) made a safer, more beautiful, and more durable metal. Its easy care, beautiful coloring, and long life have established it as one of the important jewelry components today.
