Witch cake in 925 silver

The witch cake- based on a 17-19th century custom to hang special cakes behind doors, as an example of apotropaic magic, to keep witches and other supernatural evil-doers out of the house, or to bake a cake with urine and bury, burn or feed it to someone.

Witch cakes were baked rock solid and dried in the oven, easy to make, easy to replace, and offered magical protection with a minimum of fuss.

You can keep out your own forms of evil with a witch cake charm, to be worn around the neck. Also formed rock solid, but in sterling silver to protect for a maximum length of time. (contains no urine).

All one off pieces, individually completely unique- each is different- you will be given a witch cake at random in the order, unless you order the smaller one without extra spikes!

Weight around 8-9g, HALLMARKED (small isn't as falls under limit of 7g, (6g) so doesn't legally need hallmarking).

Chain not included.

Physical examples of witch cakes live at two British museums: the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Scarborough Museums Trust. Both museums’ cakes are the same unusual shape: a circle, with spikes protruding from its sides and a hole in its center.
