The 50th Birthday Boar

Wild Boar coin necklace – handmade and recycled little 1970’s coin

Each piece is carefully and considerately handcrafted from a small copper coin. This coin is 19 mm diameter coin picturing a lovely youthful wild boar. It really is a beautiful little coin to work with, although quite challenging because of its size. The coin is individually hand cut using traditional hand tools and techniques. Once cut out, I then meticulously hand engrave the wild boar bristles and hairs for an interesting detailed and original finish. Size : diameter 19 mm

The wild boar embodies a potent mix of ferocity, strength, and untamed power. It often represents courage, leadership, and the ability to confront challenges head-on. However, the boar can also symbolize primal instincts, hidden aspects of the self, and the potential for both destruction and nourishment.

The boar’s fierce nature and powerful charge make it a symbol of bravery and masculine energy. It’s a creature that faces challenges head-on, without hesitation. In some contexts, the boar represents a leader, someone who protects their territory and those they care about. The boar is also associated with fertility and the provision of sustenance, linking it to the natural world and its bounty.

The wild boar, in its natural state, embodies raw, untamed power, a force of nature that can be both destructive and nurturing. It can represent the untamed, primal aspects of the self, including hidden desires and potential for aggression. Its ferocity can also symbolize the destructive potential of unchecked power and the chaotic. In some interpretations, the boar’s single-minded determination can be seen as stubbornness or an unwillingness to compromise.
