Description
Note! The piece has an engraving (initials PP). The engraving is on the inside and is not visible from the outside.
The lion on the piece, whose mane spreads like sunbeams, is inspired by the Halikko treasure. The fittings on either side of it, in turn, imitate the strap mounts found in Rikala, Halikko. The roots of the beast depicted in Romanesque style are likely in Gotland, and possibly also those of the mounts, but the latter's design was widely imitated and modified in Finland in the 11th and 12th centuries. Kalevala Koru's "Sun Lion" thus brings a breath of fresh air from a time when the influences of Christian Europe reached Finns through the islands of the Baltic Sea.
