Description
The prototype for this Kalevala Koru model dates back to the 12th century. The filigree pearl necklace was part of a valuable treasure found in Joensuu, Halikko, along with three silver cross pendants. The treasure was hidden in the ground in a crude clay pot around the time Finland became Christian, about 800 years ago. The hider may have been a priest who wanted to save the valuables from the pagan Finns, or it could just as well have been church robbers hiding their loot – nobody knows. In any case, the treasure hoard speaks of turbulent times, a period of upheaval that initiated a new direction of development in Finland.
