Welsh Dragon Pewter Plaid Brooch – Made in the UK, 3-Inch Diameter
The proud and ancient symbol of Wales, Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon), has long represented power, courage, and heritage. This striking pewter plaid brooch features the passant red dragon, standing tall on a foundation of history that spans centuries.
The modern Welsh flag, officially adopted in 1959, draws inspiration from royal badges used since the Tudor era—yet the Red Dragon itself dates back much further. Legends say Romano-British soldiers carried the dragon to Rome, while others attribute its adoption to the Welsh kings of Aberffraw in the early 5th century. By the 7th century, it became known as the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr, a lasting emblem of strength and national pride.
Expertly cast in pewter by skilled craftsmen in the UK, this brooch measures 3 inches in diameter and is strong enough to secure heavy fly plaids, shawls, or sashes. A versatile accessory for Highland dress, Celtic events, or daily wear with cultural flair.
