Ancient Celtic Gold Steel Keepsake

Interlaced Celtic knotwork covers the face of a small squared pendant, five eighths of an inch wide and three quarters of an inch tall. The strands are raised and the recesses left dark, which is what keeps the pattern legible at this size. Gold-toned steel throughout, front and back.

This one opens at the front rather than the base, which is unusual and worth knowing if you plan to fill it yourself, since the closure sits inside the design. Half a cubic inch is a keepsake portion of ashes only. Irish and Scottish families often take one alongside a full-size urn for the mantel.

• Front opening; the closure is set into the knotwork face
• Compact at 0.625 by 0.75 in, suited to a shorter chain
• Engraving is possible on the reverse; add it on this page
