Fearless. Unashamed. The Sheela na gig radiates female power and awesome audacity. Handmade in sterling silver, this figure is confronting us with her raw energy and fierce defiance. A spiral textured wire snake is soldered to her reticulated backplate reinforcing her rebellion, primal power and blatant sexuality.
This pendant is for those who will not be silenced or shamed, individuals who honour the wild sacred essence of womanhood. Whether worn as a declaration of empowerment or a shield against the world, the Sheela na gig carries a message of uncompromising strength and a profound connection to feminine archetypes.
Found carved into stone buildings in Ireland, Britain and parts of Europe, the Sheela na gig is an enigmatic figure whose origins remain shrouded in mystery. She has been interpreted as a guardian, a fertility symbol and a challenge to patriarchal ‘norms.’ Often placed prominently on religious buildings, her purpose has sparked centuries of debate - was she a protector, a warning against sin, or something more profound? Whatever her original meaning, today she stands as an icon of fearless female strength, her form as compelling now as it was centuries ago.
