Description
Note! The backs of the B-grade earrings are worn.
Adorning this magnificent necklace are two long-necked birds, likely peacocks. Peacocks were considered inhabitants of paradise, symbols of celestial beauty and immortality. Below the birds is a stemmed chalice of the water of life. The arched frame of the ornament is believed to symbolize a church vault. The piece features a paradise symbol from early Christian art, where paradise represented the Kingdom of Heaven. The ornament is based on a necklace found in Kernaala, Janakkala, dating back to the 8th-9th centuries.
