Harp Buttons
Harp Buttons
The harp, an ancient musical instrument with a long history, can be traced back to Egypt in 4000 B.C. It was not only used for entertainment but also played a significant role in religious ceremonies. Over time, the harp's popularity spread, and by the 13th century, it had become a symbol of Ireland in both Scotland and Ireland. The instrument's importance in Irish culture is reflected in the country's official emblem, which features a harp. On a particular medallion, the harp is depicted, with the musical score from the timeless classic "Greensleeves" surrounding it, adding to the beauty and significance of this ancient instrument.
Since 1972, Quick Silver Mint has been creating authentic handmade medallions, which are available through their catalog and at festivals throughout the United States. Now, the designs are available here as buttons.
