Plague Knight is a one of a kind mini collection of sterling silver pendants inspired by the medieval grotesque. In architecture, Grotesque figures, such as gargoyles, were believed to have the ability to ward off evil.

Each piece in the collection is covered in a dense hand-built studded surface that recalls both riveted medieval armor and the swollen buboes historically associated with bubonic plague imagery. Beneath that textured exterior are recognizable figures, knights, a unicorn, a hound, a working padlock with keys, and ceremonial armor elements, each cast in solid sterling silver and finished by hand in Portland, Oregon.

These pendants are tactile objects designed to be touched as much as worn. Each pendant is weighty and substantial, and its knobby surface makes it a pleasure to rub and hold.

You will receive fully functional padlock including two keys. Simply insert the key and turn clockwise to make the shank spring open. To close, simply push the shank back into place until it clicks.

Details: Made in solid sterling silver with a steel internal spring. Dimensions: 28mm x 18mm x 6 mm Shank measures 4mm at widest point.
