Hunting Trophy ‘Fox Canine Brooch’
This antique brooch represents traditional Austrian hunting jewellery historically worn by both men and women to attract good fortune during hunts. The combination of fox canines and coniferous motifs, such as pine or larch, represents a balance between the hunter’s mastery over nature and a deep spiritual respect for the forest and its cycles.
Historically, these teeth were worn as talismans believed to bestow the fox’s agility and stealth upon the wearer. Beyond being a trophy, animal teeth were historically worn as luck-bringing amulets to ensure success in future hunts.
This 1950s Austrian hunting trophy is a rare piece. It showcases two embedded fox canines on either side of silverwork depicting local flora, either pine or larch. The hallmarks on the brooch’s swing-arm clasp are illegible; possibly German silver. This one-of-a-kind piece measures about 4cm in length, 3.5cm in width, and 1cm in depth. The accompanying photograph depicts the actual object, and only one is available.

Wild Hare’s Tail Talisman
$29.95Throughout history, the hare’s tail has served as a physical charm believed to attract good fortune and offer protection. In British and Celtic folklore, carrying a hare's foot or tail has traditionally served as a charm against evil. Beyond protection, hare charms, recognised for their supernatural attributes and association with shapeshifting, were believed to grant hidden knowledge to those who possessed part of the animal. Owing to the hare's high reproductive rate, these charms are also commonly linked to abundance and new beginnings. Their nocturnal habits further associate them with the lunar cycle, establishing them as symbols of immortality and rebirth. In light of these rich traditions and symbolism, this hare’s tail talisman was carefully handcrafted during a waning moon cycle, setting it apart from ordinary charms. Measuring 8cm by 4cm, it features a vintage brass fitting, finished with both a chain and a pentacle charm. Here at Gypsy Red Corpse – Artefacts for the Witching Hour, we take great pride in offering ethically sourced and sustainable materials to supplement your ritual practice.
