Description

We like the medieval pipes, and we would never say they sound like a pig – but that was not the opinion of the maker of the original item, dated 1375-1425, copied to produce this brooch. The inscription on the banderole (borrowed from a contemporary piping pig from a different mold) says, “VARMVA”. Just pronounce that as if you were imitating the pipes – VARMMMMMMMMVA!

Time period: 14-15th Century
Origin: Netherlands
Materials: Pewter
Product Dimensions: 3.2cm width x 5.0cm height

Crafted by Billy and Charlie in Pennsylvania, USA, from lead-free pewter
