Iona Brooch
The Iona Brooch depicts the galley of the Lords of the Isles, the iconic vessel of Scotland's Western Isles and a heraldic symbol long associated with Iona. This design originates with Alexander Ritchie, the silversmith who worked on Iona from the turn of the 20th century and spent four decades reviving Celtic metalwork traditions there. Rendered in sterling silver in shield form, the brooch shows the galley with three masts and crossed spars, flanked at top by a pair of sea creatures, with "IONA" inscribed on the hull. Measures 1 1/2" (38mm) tall by 1 1/16" (27mm) wide.
