Terra Sancta Guild Enamelled Pendant
In the process of Spring cleaning this weekend, I rediscovered this big brass pendant. It is signed Terra Sancta Guild 1969. Terra Sancta was and is still a company that manufactures religious items. Many of these pieces were designed by the liturgical artist Ade Bethune. The company had partnered with a metal-working shop in Israel to produce jewellery and housewares and Bethune went to the holy land were she studied local methods of working with brass and enamel.
Fun fact: Terra Sancta = Holy Land.
This pendant is in Hebrew — a language which I do not read — and the typography is heavily stylized to boot. If you know what it says, please share in the comments
Are you selling it?
Sorry for the slow response but the original post is from 2013 and I rarely go back to check comments that are over a year old. To answer your question, I sold it a long time ago.
