The design of our Lunula reminds of a crescent moon facing downwards. It has a geometric decoration and it is finished with three-leaf clovers.

Medieval necklace tag inspired by historical findings

There are a lot of historical examples of lunula, especially coming from the Viking era and early medieval period. Our tag is based on the finding from the State Archeological Museum, Warsaw, which dates back to the 12th-13th century. Bronze lunula is attached to a beady necklace from multicolor glass. Our lunula has the same shape, finishing and decorations like the historical example.

Wiele jest wzorów dla lunuli szczególnie pochodzących z ery wikingów oraz wczesnego średniowiecza.
