British Victorian Lucky Horseshoe Maple Leaf Sterling Silver Brooch—European Antique Jewelry Vintag

People believed that nailing a horseshoe to the door would give them strong vitality to fight against evil: *The horse was a symbol of strength and wealth at that time ＊Because iron tools can be used as weapons and protective tools, they must be regarded as lucky items with protective power. In addition, it can be re-evolved and reshaped after being heated with fire, so it is also a symbol of refining and sublimation. *The shape of a horseshoe resembles the image of the creator of life and the great mother, because the crescent moon is the symbol of the ancient Greek goddess Artemis, the guardian of fertility and hunting. Symbolizes life and rebirth. Today's object is very special. It has a sterling silver horseshoe as the base, and two-color gilt maple leaves growing above it.
