metadata.value: The new rhombus-shaped cast amulet of the 10th century, made in the Borre
  style by means of the openwork metalworking technique, is a unique example of the
  Scandinavian jewelry tradition. The amulet originated from the region of the middle
  Dniester. The amulet and graffito are unique and they have no direct known analogies.
  This article is devoted to the study of semiotics and semantics of a zoomorphic
  pendant and elements of its image. The study carried out a structural-semantic analysis
  of the composition and individual elements of ornament through the paradigm of
  cosmological and cosmogonic representations of the ancient Germans. The work used
  the comparative method as well as a wide range of archaeological and literary sources.
  The picture stones and runic stones, Hogback stones, objects of material culture
  of the ancient Germans, results of comprehensive archaeological research, Old Norse
  songs about the gods and heroes of the “Younger Edda”, a set of Scandinavian sagas,
  Icelandic Viking sagas about Old Rus’ and materials from written sources of the XI–
  XIII Centuries were examined in detail and compared. The novelty of the research lies
  not only in the uniqueness of the new early medieval Scandinavian amulet, but also in
  the comparison and study of the object through the lens of the literary heritage of German-
  Scandinavian mythology. This approach was first applied in the detailed study of
  the “Gnezdovo-type” pendants. The methodological approach of the research and the
  historical-typological and semantic-semiotic analysis led to a scientific interpretation
  of the depicted story of the amulet within the context of the ancient Germanic mythological
  system and cosmogony.
