Vintage Rooster Medal Pendant Necklace | 1923 European Farm Token

A small relic of rural life — cast in metal and carrying the quiet symbolism of the land.
This commemorative pendant features a proud rooster standing watch over a pastoral scene, a timeless emblem of vigilance, renewal, and morning light. The reverse bears an inscription referencing Het Neerhof van Berlaer en Gestel with the date June 29, 1923 — likely marking a historic event or celebration tied to a European estate or agricultural tradition.

Though bearing an earlier date, the piece itself appears to be a later 20th-century commemorative casting, created in homage to local heritage and worn here as a necklace.
It feels like something that might have been picked up during travels or kept as a reminder of place — a tangible connection to rural rhythms and memory.
