## About
Three arcs, drawn without lifting the tool, interlace into a knot with no beginning and no end. Worn against a plain shirt it reads clearly in silhouette, a small dark shape that holds together without a seam.The knot is cut clean through a disc of pewter about an inch across, with a soft satin sheen rather than a polished shine and enough heft to sit flat without turning or catching. It is cast from a hand-carved master mold kept by a small workshop that has made pewter charms the same way for three generations, alloying tin with a small measure of antimony and copper for strength, since pure tin bends too easily to hold its shape.The triquetra runs through the Insular art of the early medieval period, carved into stone crosses and inked into illuminated manuscripts including the Book of Kells. Christian communities read its arcs as the Trinity; other traditions take them as maiden, mother and crone, or simply as three: birth, life, death; earth, sea, sky.DetailsPewter (tin with antimony and copper), about an inch acrossSatin finishWaxed cord, no claspHow to useKnot the cord at whatever length suits you and wear it close, every day or on the days that ask for it.A plain, sturdy thing for anyone who likes their symbols old and their answers unforced.
