A very unique hand made sterling silver Scottish clan badge/pin is offered in this lot. The badge is from Can MacAulay. This badge unlike most is hand made rather than cast from a mold. The clan motto "Dulce Periculum (Danger is Sweet) is etched along the top of the badge. In the center of the badge is the clan crest which is a a boot and a spur. The badge is made of a circle of a belt, a symbol of membership and allegiance to the clan. The artist signed his work on the back with an initial "D". The clan was historically centered on the lands of Ardincaple, which are today consumed by the little village of Rhu and burgh of Helensburgh in Argyll and Bute. The clan is considered a "Highland clan" by writers. The clan is recorded as "died" 1767. This piece is striking by itself but knowing the history behind it and the passion that went into the making of it makes ones heart hear bagpipes.
