It is fashionable now to associate it with the womanly triad of maiden, mother, crone, but in ancient Ireland there were many triads, e.g:
"Three slender things that hold up the world: the slender stream of milk from a cow's teat, the slender blade of corn as it breaks the ground, and the slender thread over the hand of a skilled woman." (from "The Triads of Ireland" a 9th c manuscript)
This brooch is made in the technique called champleve - a process which takes 5 days to complete. It is 1 1/2" in diameter. A necklace attachment can be made so that it may be worn hanging also.
