Description
The circular shape of the sun which emphasizes the evr occuring cyclical nature of the seasons is the origin of this neolithic symbol. It combines a cross within a circle and is the simplist conceivable representation to the union of opposed polarities. Probable the oldest symbol in the world, it appeared in Asia, America, European and Indian art from the dawn of history.
One interpretation say that the four-armed cross represents shadows cast by the rising and setting sun at the two solsitices.The circle eventually disappeared and became the “Real” Cross. This solar, or wheel cross. is recreated in silver,is recreted in silver from a petroglyph found at Red Tank Draw near Sedona, Arizona
