Description

Since the Stone Age, from 6 to 7 thousand years ago, we know a large number of finds of this symbol. From metals, engraved in stone or on clay vessels, on jewellery and pendants and pins...

We find it all over Europe, among the Celts, the Germans and the Slavs. It probably symbolizes the quarters of the year, the celebration of the solstices and equinoxes and the sun deities.
