This pendant is a small talisman inspired by Ukrainian folk symbolism. The ceramic horse is one of the ancient motifs in traditional Ukrainian art. In folk culture, it symbolises vitality, movement, freedom and good

path. Since ancient times, the horse has been considered a protective symbol that

guards its owner and brings happiness.

At the centre of the pendant shines an eight-pointed star – one of the oldest symbols of Ukrainian ornamentation. It embodies the harmony of the world, light, order and spiritual guidance. In folk ornamentation, such a star often signifies the sun, life and divine protection.

The white colour of the ceramic symbolises purity and light, whilst the gold accents lend the piece a sense of nobility and warmth.
