Celtic Pendant Appraisal

Celtic Triskele Circular Pendant

This item is a circular pendant, approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter, crafted from a light-colored, possibly off-white, material, consistent with a polished stone or bone. The center features a clean, circular cutout, allowing it to function as a pendant or a charm. A dark, possibly black or dark blue, braided cord is threaded through this central opening, indicating it is ready for wear as a necklace. The surface of the pendant is smooth and appears to have a matte or slightly satin finish. A prominent design is emblazoned on one side of the pendant, consisting of a Celtic triskele (triple spiral) enclosed within a circular border. The design is rendered in a contrasting dark color, likely black, applied with precision, suggesting either a silkscreen print, etching, or inlay work. The lines of the spirals are clear and crisp, indicating good craftsmanship in the application of the design. There are no obvious signs of wear, chips, cracks, or significant surface abrasions, suggesting it is in good to excellent condition. The material appears solid and uniform, without visible inclusions or imperfections that would suggest lower quality. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the image, the stylized Celtic motif suggests a relatively modern production, likely within the last few decades, as a piece of cultural or fashion jewelry. The overall aesthetic points to an object designed for decorative wear, possibly with cultural or symbolic significance related to Celtic heritage.
