A circle symbolizes wholeness, harmony, and protection, therefore this shape ir so crucial in rituals. But we also associate the cricle with the giver of life and light – the sun. Untypically for indoeuropean people, the Balts see Sun as a feminine deity. In our climate sun can not burn and destroy but it warms and nurses. A circle with a dot is a special ornament for Balts – it appears during the Neolithic period, is widely used on jewelry during the iron age, and retains its popularity appearing in various forms in the ethnography of later times as well.

Latvian and Baltic ornaments are a crucial part of the Baltic culture and have deep symbolic meanings and can be worn as amulets. Perfect for your jacket, battle vest, bag, or as a collectible. Each patch comes with a description of the symbol’s meaning and magic protection - wrapped in paper inscribed with Latvian protective travel spell as recorded in Vecmuiža, Jēkabpils district, at the beginning of the 20th century.
