Faithful Hound Tassel

Your faithful hound, ever at-the-ready. He holds a substantial ring in his mouth, determined to remain ardently by your side forever. You’ll find it hard to resist the slinky snake chain tassel, designed to be endlessly fidgeted with and admired. In medieval manuscripts, dogs appeared constantly beside their masters as symbols of loyalty, vigilance, and protection. Hunting hounds guarded travelers and accompanied noble hunts, while smaller companion dogs rested at the feet of women and saints as emblems of devotion and fidelity. Across tomb sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, and bestiaries, the hound became a lasting symbol of steadfast companionship, even beyond death itself. This pendant draws from those traditions, reimagining the medieval guardian hound as a modern talisman. Solid, weighty, and comforting in the hand, he is intended as a protective companion to wear daily. Available in two finishes: a shiny hammered surface, or finely engraved Florentine fur. Please Note: Each pendant is made to order according to your specifications. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks before shipping.
