Antique French silver plated charm pendant Bretagne Brittany stoat coat of arms

SIZE: 24 X 25 mm   

The ermine, or stoat, is a small animal with brown fur that turns white in winter and is very similar to a weasel. Legend has it that the Duchess Anne of Brittany was riding her horse when she spotted a white-furred ermine being hunted by dogs. The ermine found itself trapped on the edge of a muddy pond and preferred to face the hunters and death, rather than dirty and soil its noble white coat. Fascinated by its bravery, the Duchess let it live and made it her emblem, giving rise to Brittany’s motto: “Plutôt mourir que la souillure” (Rather dying than being stained).
