Earrings in the shape of the Ugunskrusts fire cross.
Here you can buy a pair of earrings with the Ugunskrusts, the so-called fire cross after historical models from the Baltic region.
The Latvian term Ugunskrusts means fire cross. It is also known as a
pērkonkrusts, or thunder cross, and is thus associated with Perun or Perkūnas, the Finnish god of thunder.
The fire cross is a Baltic
variant of the swastika and comes in countless variations. It is still considered an ancient symbol of good luck in the Baltic States and is still traditionally used in Latvia and Lithuania to decorate objects and clothing.
