The Pelican in Its popular Piety pin, symbol of extraordinary giving

This special pin is a symbol of all popular that we do for others. Legend has it that the pelican will pierce its own breast to feed its young, if necessary. If someone in your life has gone above and beyond regular service, consider an unusual "thank-you" with a quiet message.

Three dimensional Sterling Silver, set with a garnet. I carved this to look as much as possible like the Pelican Jewel in the British Museum.
