Slavic Kolovrat Amulet, bronze

Product description

The pendant is crafted in the shape of a Kolovrat. The Kolovrat, also known as the Sun Wheel or Solstice, is an ancient Slavic symbol that appears frequently in Slavic art and folklore. This sun wheel consists of eight or twelve arms that radiate rays outward from the centre of the wheel. The Kolovrat symbol has deep roots in Slavic mythology and is often associated with the sun god and the cycle of nature. In Slavic art, the Kolovrat is frequently depicted on textiles, jewellery, and even on architectural elements. It symbolises not only the sun as a source of light and life, but also the continuity of life, rebirth and the eternal cycle of nature.
