AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an interesting pendant with a Viking lunula amulet in bronze, consisting of a body in the shape of a crescent moon with an integrated suspension loop, representing the goddess Luna.
In Viking mythology, Lunula (the moon) is sometimes considered a goddess in her own right, and sometimes appears as an epithet of older goddesses like Diana or Juno, which means that this element can be a sign of devotion to higher-level gods within the Viking pantheon.
It was used by girls as an amulet to protect them against evil forces.
