Product description
The Alemanni widely used this ornamental disc, featuring snake depictions, during the Early Middle Ages, from 500 to 700 AD. In the Merovingian period, such discs were an essential part of women's attire within Alemannic culture. Made from bronze, the disc features a contrasting central part.The Alemannic disc pendant measures 4.8 cm in diameter. It draws inspiration from the serpent, a significant figure in Germanic mythology and the performing arts dating back to the Bronze Age. The serpent symbolized both the return of life in spring and death in winter, closely tied to ancient fertility rites.
The serpent also played a notable role in death rituals. This is seen in figures like Nidhöggr, the serpent associated with the World Tree, and the Midgard Serpent, which encircles the world. Find this mythological creature across many cultures — from Germanic and Indo-European mythologies to Siberian shamanism — where it symbolizes deep cultural and spiritual significance.
