Pendant in the shape of a raven skull
Here you can buy an expressive raven skull pendant, inspired by ancient pagan motifs from the northern European culture.
The raven played a special role in many
pre-Christian cultures and was closely associated with ideas of knowledge, memory and transition. In archaeological contexts, it often appears as an accompanying motif in Germanic and Celtic art.
In the Baltic States,
Scandinavia and the Finno-Ugric region, the raven was considered a border crosser between worlds. Its presence represents less mysticism than culturally anchored symbolism that reflects power, orientation and the connection between humans, nature and the afterlife.
The pendant picks up on these
historical meanings and is intended as an archaeologically inspired piece of jewellery for people who are enthusiastic about history, archaeology and traditional symbolism.
The raven skull pendant is fully sculpted and
measures 3.6 x 1.5 x 1 cm.
You can buy this medieval pendant in high-quality
bronze or real
silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925
sterling silver (Please note the delivery time).

In Germanic mythology, the raven plays a special and
venerable role. It is considered a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and destiny. Particularly well known are Odin's two ravens, Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory), who fly over the world every day and report to their master what they have seen and heard. They thus embody Odin's omnipresent attention and his search for knowledge.
The raven is also closely associated with death and war, as it appeared as a scavenger on the
battlefields, but was also revered as a sacred bird. In the Germanic imagination, the raven is thus a mediator between worlds and a symbol of the power of knowledge.
