About the Design

Sheela na Gig figures appear in medieval stone carvings and small objects across parts of Ireland, Britain, and continental Europe. Their meaning is still debated by historians and may have shifted over time, ranging from protective imagery to fertility symbolism or moral commentary.
This pendant does not reproduce a single historical carving but follows the general proportions and simplified forms seen in medieval examples. The small size, smooth surfaces, and direct carving style make it comfortable to wear and consistent with everyday personal ornaments rather than architectural sculpture.
