ABOUT
The stone guard of Newgrange, Irish Neolithic stele necklace in silver
Newgrange is an archeological site located in Ireland which tumulus dates back to 3200 B.C. To access the funeral tomb, you have to walk through a very long corridor which orientation exactly matches the winter solstice day. On this particular day, the sun comes in through this long corridor for 15 mn.
At the entrance of the tumulus, you will see a sculpted megalith with spirals looking like triskels. There is no certified interpretation for these drawings so far.
symbols of water, wind or snakes are most often evoked. Newgrange is also linked to the calendar that was put in place during the Neolithic era, at the same time as man learned to domesticate plants. Its position at the winter solstice is a clue. The double spiral would be an ancient symbol used to represent the course of the sun and/or lightning.
If you love archeology, the Celtic culture and the Neolithic period, this pendant will become you best companion.
Metal: sterling silver.
Length of the necklace: 95 cm.
