Beautiful piece - I went all the way to Dublin to get it. Intricate Celtic weave with opposing Celtic hounds. This one symbolizes strength - Found in the Book of Kells - strength - courage and protection from malice. The pendent is stamped 925 as well as the fine 18" sterling serpentine chain. The pendent measures 1 1/4" tall. Still in the original black leatherette box. One of the harder pieces to find. Only one I have.
