The world famous Sun Chariot as a pendant		This beatiful pendant is originally a part of the very well-known sun chariot. The sun chariot was discovered around 1400 BC when the bogs near Trundholm on Zealand went under the plow in 1902. The small six wheeled chariot was broken into many parts but this was not only done by the plow. The chariot must have been broken already when it was dumped in the bog during the Bronze Age. The pieces were salvageable, however, and formed a miniature sun disc on a horse drawn carriage.

Small and delicate statue in limestone found in Niederösterreich. From around 20 - 25.000 BC.

The well-known Sun Chariot as a miniature copy, beautifully made from bronze patinated metal with a gilded sun disc.

Beautiful Dagmar cross pendant in the same size as the original. The cross is a Byzantine relic cross from the 1100s.
