Antique British Crescent Moon Heavy Cast Horse Brass Medallion
Product Description
Add a touch of historic European charm and celestial symbolism to your space with this Antique Crescent Moon Horse Brass. Originally forged in Great Britain during the late 19th or early 20th century, these heavy cast brass medallions were traditional talismans threaded onto leather martingale straps to adorn magnificent working heavy draft horses.
As one of the oldest and most symbolic harness designs, the prominent crescent "lunate" shape was deeply rooted in folklore—acting as a protective amulet to ward off evil and bring good fortune to the horse and handler. Today, this solid brass piece has transitioned into a highly collectible accent, perfect for historic pub decor, unique gallery wall arrangements, or witchy, pagan-inspired altar displays.
Key Features
  • Authentic Late Victorian / Edwardian Era: A genuine piece of equestrian agricultural history, featuring the classic, early-type rectangular "goalpost" hanger loop.
  • Mystical Celestial Iconography: The bold crescent design makes a striking standalone piece for collectors of celestial, Wiccan, or primitive folk art.
  • Heavy Solid Cast Brass: Features a deep, authentic hand-polished front patina balanced by an unpolished, heavily textured dark back showcasing true casting characteristics.
  • Ready to Display: The rectangular slot allows for effortless hanging via leather cords, nails, ribbons, or mounting pins.
