A Roaring Heart
Pewter Scottish Lion Rampant Pendant
The King of Scots, William I 'The Lion', first flew the Lion Rampant in battle. Ever since, it has been a symbol of the proud Scots!
The simple Latin motto perfectly conveys the heart of the Lion:
Nemo me impune lacessit! - No one attacks me with impunity!
Count yourself lucky indeed if Scottish blood flows in your veins. Epic struggles and victories throughout the centuries have honed the blood into a treasure rich in strength and courage. After conquering most of Europe, even the mighty Roman legion tasted defeat at the hands of the relentless Scottish tribes. History shows that the free heart of the Highlander could never beat for long under the yoke of an oppressor.
Though long dead, the deeds of the great hero William Wallace will live on forever. When his people had no king, no army, and no weapons, he stood up and risked all against the powerful English. Every swing of Wallace's great claymore carved a new destiny for the Scottish people. Born a man, he died a legend.
Like Wallace, Scottish or not, each man will face his own great struggles before his end comes. Fear is the scourge of our age. When challenge comes, choose courage...choose the heart of the Lion!
Our highly-detailed pendant captures the lion rampant crest as found on the Scottish and Nova Scotian flags. The pendant is cast in lead-free pewter and is strung with an 18-inch black leather cord (2-mm thick). The lobster-style clasp is the easiest one to use that we could find; we wear what we make. Each pendant comes in a glossy black box and includes a poem card insert. The retail price is $24.95 USD plus $6 shipping and handling.
