Celebrate the enduring spirit of medieval women with this exclusive brooch, designed and produced by Tatty Devine for the British Library's Medieval Women: In Their Own Words exhibition.

Inspired by intricate brass rubbings and historical manuscripts, this hand-inked acrylic piece captures the artistry and resilience of women throughout history.

Using a technique reminiscent of medieval brass rubbing, each brooch is laser cut, raster-etched, and hand-finished to highlight its striking details. The design, drawn from imagery in our collection, reflects the narratives of women whose voices have transcended centuries. What’s more, you can even make your own brass rubbings from this unique piece—connecting past and present in a truly cyclical way.

Perfect for history enthusiasts or as a meaningful gift, this brooch is not just a piece of jewellery but a symbol of "herstory" reclaimed.

Available exclusively at the British Library.
