Epona" a celtic zoomorphic is the celtic goddess of horses. This large, beautifully crafted item is 1" (25mm) in size and comes with an 18 inch sterling chain. A spectacular gift for any horse lover. Her name comes from the Gaulish word for "horse", epos, which derives from the same root as both the Latin word for horse, equus and the Greek, hippos. Her name means "Divine Mare". Although she is most frequently portrayed as a goddess who protects horses and riders, there is evidence that in her original form among the Gauls, she was a Goddess of fertility and abundance, in essence a very typical Mother Goddess.
