Minoan Sun Disc Necklace

Ornate 24K gold plated Minoan sun disc - The Minoans practiced a polytheistic religion, and the sun was associated with certain deities. One such deity was the goddess Eileithyia, who was considered the protector of childbirth and had solar attributes. The sun's life-giving properties were often linked to the idea of rebirth and regeneration, making it a central theme in Minoan religious beliefs.

The sun motif appeared in Minoan art, including frescoes, pottery, and seals. The sun was often depicted with rays radiating outward, sometimes in the form of a central disc surrounded by rays or as a simple, stylized sunburst. These depictions reflected the Minoans' reverence for the celestial body.
