AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Date: Bronze Age, c. 600 BC
Material: Bronze
Diameter: approx. 49 x 44 mm
Condition: Good, with stable green patina and minor wear from burial. No repairs.
An openwork bronze amulet representing the sun, comprising a circular frame with central ring joined by radiating spokes. The form recalls the solar wheel, one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the European Bronze Age.
The sun motif was central to Bronze Age cosmology, associated with fertility, renewal, and the passage of time. In many ancient societies, the sun was revered as a divine power, and amulets like this served as protective charms charged with spiritual meaning.
You can actually wear this piece of jewelry, a modern chain is included.
