Victorian silver mounted Scottish carnelian agate cloak pin circa 1880
This is a beautiful cloak pin from the 19th century comprising a banded carnelian agate cross mounted with an engraved silver anchor. The 'anchor cross' has been a symbol since biblical times. The anchor represents hope and steadfastness and the cross, Jesus. The two combined point to Christians' hope of salvation through Christ. Missionaries of the United Methodist Church wear the anchor cross as areminder that their work is 'anchored in faith, hope and love'. Perhps it was a priest's cloak that was intended to be fastened here but this cloak pin would be suitable for any type of garment whether sacred or secular.Size: | 7 x 4 cm |
