Snake Enamel Pin Badge

Ever since Eve’s transgression in the Garden of Eden, snakes in Christian tradition have been associated with lies, evil and temptation. But in other cultures, as far-flung as ancient Greece and Egypt and indigenous North America, snakes symbolize fertility, rebirth, renewal and even immortality – the creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing. The ouroboros, a circular symbol of a snake swallowing its own tail is a symbol of eternity and continual renewal of life.

This fantastic Snake high quality enamel and metal folk art pin badge would make a glorious adornment to any bag, coat, tie, jacket, dress, or anywhere else you wish to display it. Designed by the very talented Carole Fenwick of Maggiemagoo Designs, and inspired by tattoos and folk art and a love of all creatures.
