- Bog wood is petrified wood found in Irish bogs, and is generally pine or oak. Jewelry made of bog wood was exhibited at every major exhibition in Great Britain throughout the nineteenth century.Such pieces generally include Celtic or Irish motifs, like the Irish harp or lyre in this piece, or symbols or monuments found at early Christian sites in Ireland.

These pieces are similar to the Scottish pebble jewelry that was popular in this era: pieces made from stones found in Scotland and set into bracelets and brooches, in designs often reminiscent of ancient Scottish jewelry forms.This piece is part of a large collection given to the institution by Susan Stark of Lansing, MI.
