Did you know?
The lunula (in Russian lunnitsa) was one of the most frequently worn amulets in the Slavic world between the 10th and 13th centuries, especially by women, to whom it was believed to bring protection and fertility. The finest ones were made of silver, decorated with filigree and granulation. This is the world that was traversed by the Varangians, those Scandinavians who traveled down the rivers of present-day Russia to Constantinople: a necklace like this is a witness to the exchanges between Vikings and Slavs.
