| Perunica Shield pendants set | |
Perunika (Iris) is the symbol of Perun, God of Thunder, the most powerful God in Slavic pantheon.
This symbol was worn on the chest and shields of the glorious knights in Slavic
history, it was believed to evoke hidden powers, warriors wore it with
pride, and our ancestors regarded it as the best protection against
natural disasters (thunder and lightning) so Perunika was very much used
as the ornament on Slavic homes and that custom survived to this day.
Gromoviti znaci or thunder marks such as these are ancient
symbols of Perun, which are often engraved upon roof beams of village
houses, particularly in Eastern Slavic populations, to protect them from
lightning bolts. It is conjectured their circular shape symbolises ball lightning.
