A wolf head in profileThe pendant is a single wolf head seen from the side, muzzle open and teeth showing, the ear swept back along the line of the skull.The neck and the jaw are filled with Celtic interlace. The bands cross and pass under one another in the old way, and the recesses have been darkened so the knotwork reads against the polished silver tone rather than disappearing into it.The form is genuinely ancient. Interlace of this kind turns up across Celtic and Northern European work for well over a thousand years, usually on objects that marked standing rather than on plain ornament.How it sitsIt hangs from a flexible box link chain, so it moves with whatever you are doing and settles where the chain wants to sit rather than holding one fixed position.The profile is the part that carries, and it reads at conversational distance. Worn outside a shirt it is the first thing anyone looks at.SteelStainless steel holds a crisp edge on cast detail like this and takes daily wear without tarnishing. A softer metal would round the interlace off over time.See our accessories guide and the wolf jewelry range.Free worldwide shipping, 7 to 12 business days. 30 day returns.
