This is an authentic example of prison art made by inmates at HMP Maze in the 1970s or 1980s. These items... key rings, wallets, jewelry boxes, etc,... were sold on the outside to help support prisoner's families. The shield or badge with ?UDA / QUIS SEPARABIT? incorporated within is stamped on the reverse of a smoothed 1937-1946 type English Half Crown. The stamp is colorized ( paint or ink) in red and black. The coin is holed and includes a loop that turns it into a key ring. Purchased from Alan Thompson / Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim, N. Ireland. (Ar. 28, 2018) ($16). |
