Order of the Golden Fleece
|
|
 |
|
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and Saint Andrew, the Order took as its symbol a golden fleece, which may refer to the great wealth obtained from the wool trade, or it may indicated a connection with Jason, himself a symbol for the Archangel Gideon and the voyage to Argo, bringing back the sacred Golden Fleece from the edge of the known world.
This ornate and heavy chain includes a gold plated pewter fleece, modelled in the round. Total length of chain 102cm.40 inches.
