Link to the historical model...
You can buy this medieval brooch made of high-quality bronze and real silver-plated. On the back is a solid needle, which is also suitable for stronger fabrics and is therefore ideal for medieval garments.
The pelican was a sign of piety in the Middle Ages. It was considered a symbol of man's salvation, as it was believed that pelicans could feed their young by plucking the flesh from their breasts to feed their young with their own blood.
Thus, the pelican became a symbol of Christ who shed his blood for the sins of mankind. It also symbolized the blood of Christ in the celebration of the Eucharist.
