Sheela Na Gig Enamel Pin

Brought to the IMMA Shop by Aoife Cawley, we are delighted to present these gorgeous pin designs.

Sheela na Gigs (also spelled as Síle na Gig) are mysterious carvings found on castles, cathedrals, and churches. While Sheela can be found in Europe and the UK, she is most commonly found in Ireland. Sheela was often above doorways and windows and while her meaning is mysterious and is still debated, it is thought that she:

• Kept bad spirits out

• Depicted an ancient Celtic goddess

• Was used to bring fertility

• Was a warning against lust

Measures 30mm and comes with pink rubber clutch back to fasten it.
