Viking or Slavic Sun Shield Pendant with Perun Axe Design
To Viking and Slavic people, the axe was the ultimate tool. It served as a tool for harvesting resources such as chopping wood, was employed in construction techniques, and also served as an instrument of war. The axe was also revered for its being the mighty magical weapon of the Slavic god Perun. The repeated axe pattern shown on this pendant is also similar to the symbol known as a Kolovrat or "Sun Wheel" which represents the ultimate power of the sun, often in connection with the gods. This particular pendant is double-sided, with a different design on each side. One side represents the axe as a magical object of power, and one side represents the axe as a straightforward functional tool essential to everyday life. It represents the importance and diversity of the axe in multiple forms.
