Lunice as an amulet for young girls and a symbol of the female cycle, protection from evil forces and fertility.
Their symbolism is still debated. Were they worn by young girls to protect their health during pregnancy? Or were they the emblem of priestesses dedicated to the cult of the moon? Were they the mark of a priestess who served as a healer and midwife in ancient and medieval times?
They are most often found in the graves of young girls and children. Was it a gift from the mother as a symbol of rebirth, or was it to protect them in sickness? Snake-like ornamentation might suggest that. These were associated in the Middle Ages with cyclical rebirth, shedding of skin and renewal, fertility and immortality.
I guess we'll never know. But what is certain is that this symbolism still has a strong mystique today.
The symbol of the lunette can be seen in all cultures, especially among the Slavs, but it was also popular with the Vikings. The symbolism of the woman in the crescent moon brings abundance and fertility.
