Baltic brass brooches, adorned with symbolic sun and plant motifs, are inspired by archaeological findings from the Baltic region, particularly from the Roman Iron Age.
These brooches often feature intricate designs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Baltic tribes. The sun motif, a prevalent symbol in Baltic art, represents life, fertility, and the eternal cycle of nature. Plant motifs, commonly found alongside sun symbols, signify growth, prosperity, and the close relationship between humans and the natural world. Such brooches were not only decorative but also served functional purposes, fastening garments and indicating social status. The craftsmanship of these pieces showcases the advanced metalworking skills of the Baltic peoples and their deep connection to symbolic representation in art.
