On the same day that Mark, of Tyger Forge buckles, came up to the museum to deliver my new Chi Rho belt buckle, the postman delivered my new Ferguson Britt sporran -- talk about Christmas in July!



The buckle is pewter on brass, and features the Chi Rho symbol -- the first two letters (in Greek) in the word "Christ" and the design that many think is the origin of the Celtic Cross.

The sporran is a Duin Uasail Mor, made from sheepskin, with brass tacks in the cantle for a little added flare!

What can I say, I love them both! It is a joy to know and be able to proudly showcase the work of two such fine craftsmen.
