Lamb necklace

[Elle]

We used to have a thread about what we thought the lamb necklace might look like but it was culled in the last few board maintenance blocks. This was always a hard one to pin down. Feel free to bring in ideas or even links to sites that you think may be a good representation of the image. I found two.

The first is an amulet from around 1100 A.D. Found in Denmark, exact site unknown. The motif is a symbolic depiction of Christ as the Lamb of God:

           

I always thought it would be a good one minus the cross. The lamb is very stylized though and you wouldn't initally know it was a lamb unless you asked the wearer what it was...even then it's kind of iffy, but I like it a lot. In my mind's eye it's the closest to what I think Mercy wears.

The second is based from a sheep petroglyph found in Moab, Utah:

       

I'm just a fan of petroglyhs so I thought this was a nice one to bring in. Clean simple lines.

I imagined something like this except smaller, a little more delicate and without the horns

Couldn't find a good semplance but if you take the detail of the one on the left and add the pose of the one on the right to it, then give it a longer neck and hanging ears you get the idea.

ooohhh!  H~S, those are EXACTLY what I imagined it to look like.  Just a simple lamb, kind of like the last one, 3D, but pretty simple.  Awesome web searching!

I always pictured her necklace as something like that.

This is adorable. Available for $25 through Esty: StickManJewelry



This one is also quite nice but more expensive at $110 @ Kido Store in Australia

Those last two are cute, but somehow... I guess I think of a religious symbol (barring such unusual ones as the Invisible Pink Unicorn and Spaghetti Monster) as more somber.  The one link has very realistic ones, to me, I like them, but since I think Mercy's is supposed to be stylized, I'd probably go with Gerd's choice as what I'm picturing for her.

Wait...you haven't seen this one! It kind of scares me a little.  And it's the most expensive at $240 from Anomaly Jewelry




This one is nice as well...very stylized. Only $12 @ Country Silver They also have a nice one on a concho.

The first one in that post reminds me of the evil sheep gods made from cottage cheese and black olive skins in "The Actual Letters"!

Yeah...it's a little scary. It's the eyes I think.

[Patti L.]

That and the "tippety tap" bouncing gait it seems to have.

[Elle]

Yes! I wouldn't want to meet it in a dark alley.

I could see that last one as her's very easily.
