Each pewter medallion measures 1 3/8" in diameter. They depict
our logo which is based on the ancient Irish legend of the Salmon of
Knowledge. (See the "Why the Fish?" link on the main shopping page to
learn more.) Also included is a linked metal ring so that it can be
used as a keychain (it's original purpose). Many of our members like to
remove the ring, however, and put the medallion on a chain to wear as
jewelry. The back of each medallion is engraved in the center with "Daltaí na Galilge" (Our name, meaning Students of the Irish
Language). Around the outer edge of the reverse side is engraved: "Tír gan Teanga Tír gan Anam" (Our motto, meaning "A nation without a language is a nation without a soul".) |
