Vintage 9ct gold enamel Preston shield charm. The design shows the Lamb of St Wilfrith, the patron saint of the city, on a blue enamel background. The letters PP are short for 'Princeps Pacis' translating to 'Prince of Peace'. The city name is at the bottom of the shield against a black background.
This lovely charm would make a great gift for any Prestonian, or maybe as a lucky charm or pendant for followers of the local football team, Preston North End FC, who also have the lamb as their mascot.
