Dolmens, a familiar sight in all corners of Irish landscape, are a type of prehistoric chambered megalithic tomb that consist of two or more vertical megaliths (large stones) supporting a horizontal capstone. Most dolmens date to the Neolithic period.
This pendant is shaped like an oval frame with a massive dolmen on a hill nested inside it, with a string of stars appearing in the sky above it. The piece has been heavily textured to imitate the appearance of an ancient stone and soil and grass underneath the tomb. This design is a homage to megalithic structures often being aligned with constellations of stars, the Sun or the Moon during solstices and equinoxes.
