Hunting Trophy ‘Austrian Feather Brooch’
Austrian hunting brooches, referred to as Jagdabzeichen or hunting pins, are traditional accessories typically worn on Tyrolean hats or hunting vests. Vintage specimens often feature small feathers and metalwork designed to secure real bird feathers, frequently depicting game birds arranged to resemble tails or wings.
This artefact is notable for its rarity and features four delicate feathers set within an intricately crafted silver casing. Although a silver hallmark is present, it is illegible. Measuring 5.6cm in length, and 2.5cm wide, this brooch is structurally robust, and the C-clasp on the reverse is fully functional. Only one is available.

Wild Hare’s Foot Talisman ‘B’
$39.95Historical records show the hare’s foot was a popular lucky charm and medicinal talisman long before the rabbit’s foot became a commercial object. Folklore blends pagan traditions, early medical beliefs, and supernatural protection rituals across cultures. In Europe, the hare’s paw was used for protection against evil and illness, venerated as a sacred messenger for its speed and nocturnal habits. The Celts believed hares, living underground, were supernatural creatures tied to the Otherworld. Inspired by this heritage, we present our hare’s foot talisman collection. These hare’s foot talismans have been carefully handcrafted during a waning moon cycle, setting them apart from ordinary charms. Each features a vintage brass fitting, adorned with a chain and a pentacle charm. This collection showcases the hind paw, noted as ‘B’ in the photograph of the group of three paws. Sold individually, each measures approximately 10cm, with an additional 7cm in the chain and pentacle charm. It is the middle size in the collection.

Raven Talons
$69.95The Common Raven (Corvus corax) is a striking, all-black bird known for its intelligence and powerful presence. As the most widely distributed of all Corvids, it can be found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Old World Pagans saw the Raven as a symbol of healing and protection. In European folklore, Ravens were thought to be witches’ familiars, aiding in casting spells, gathering arcane knowledge, and communicating with spirits. Ravens have long been associated with magick. Call on Raven symbolism to invoke their magickal qualities in your ritual practice or to enrich your cabinet of curiosities. Presented here is one pair of European Raven talons, both from the same specimen. Each talon varies slightly in size, measuring approximately L12cm x W4cm, embodying both natural beauty and ritual potential.
