This piece carries no manufacturer's mark, but its design speaks plainly to its origin: the thistle, Scotland's national flower and emblem for centuries, prized enough to be woven into royal orders, coats of arms, and folklore as a symbol of resilience and protection. Its purple-pink bloom — surprisingly edible — has long stood as shorthand for Scottish national pride, making this a distinctly regional piece of wearable history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with our other vintage horse brass medallions for a collected-over-time look on a mantel or bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antigo Trunk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43177354428625,"sku":"U2599","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_7724_bb6b1cd3-7c52-4151-8af4-88f125b0b118.jpg?v=1783446838","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/en-ca\/products\/horse-brass-bridle-harness-medallion-thistle-scottish-national-emblem-vintage-equestrian-collectibles","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
