Summary

Horse brass: Star, seven pointed. No border. Type: cast brass. Date: 1825-1939.

The luminosity of stars make them a source of light. They are symbols of the spirit and particularly the welfare between spiritual forces, or light, and material forces, or darkness. Their purpose was to reflect the evil eye and the forces of darkness. (See, 'Penguin Dictionary of Symbols')

Seven is the number of the completed cycle and of its positive renewal. It denotes the fullness of moral order and the fullness of energies and principles in the spiritual order. (See, 'Penguin Dictionary of Symbols')
