The Scottish Terrier is one of Scotland's most recognisable breeds, its compact, sturdy form and distinctive silhouette making it an enduring emblem of Scottish character and identity. Originating in the Scottish Highlands, the breed was developed to work the rough terrain of Scotland's hills and glens, its tenacity, independence and boldness reflecting qualities long associated with Scotland itself. The Scottie has appeared in Scottish decorative arts, advertising and cultural imagery for well over a century, its immediately readable profile one of the most familiar of any breed in the world. As a subject for silverwork its strong, blocky silhouette and textured coat translate naturally into sculpted three-dimensional form.
This pendant presents the Scottish Terrier as a compact three-dimensional sculpted form, the breed's characteristic proportions clearly rendered at the scale. The body is low-slung and solid, with the short legs, deep chest and squared-off profile that define the Scottie's distinctive stance. The coat is represented in engraved, textured lines throughout the body, capturing the dense, wiry quality of the breed's characteristic double coat. The head carries the breed's typical features, the erect pointed ears and strong muzzle clearly defined. The tail is upright, as characteristic of the breed. The silver carries a high mirror polish on the smoother surfaces, with the engraved coat detail providing contrast. A plain round ring fitting connects the pendant above.
At 11mm x 11mm and approximately 1.2g, it is small and precisely detailed for its scale. 925 sterling silver. Ring fitting.
