This pendant is based on Sheela na Gig figures found in medieval carvings across Ireland, Britain, and parts of continental Europe. The form is reduced and adapted for small-scale metalwork, keeping the proportions and direct character of historical examples.

It is produced through casting in metal, followed by manual finishing to refine edges and surface. Depending on the material, the pendant may develop a natural patina with wear.

In use, the piece is compact and sits close to the body. The size and weight make it easy to wear without movement or imbalance.

Each piece is finished by hand; small differences in surface and detail are part of the process.

About the Design
Sheela na Gig figures appear in a range of medieval contexts, from architectural carvings to smaller objects. Their meaning remains uncertain and may include protective, symbolic, or moral interpretations depending on region and period.
