Description

Add a touch of Estonian heritage to your holiday decor with our Wooden Folk Circles, designed as charming Christmas tree ornaments and festive decorations. Size is about 12 cm in diameter. Each piece features intricate Estonian folk patterns that carry sacred meanings from Eesti pärimuskultuur (Estonian folklore).

Each circle incorporates traditional motifs rich in cultural symbolism:

Horizontal Line (Horisontaaljoon): Representing the earth and materiality, this line embodies the nurturing energy of “maaema” (mother earth). Positioned above other symbols, it elevates their meaning; below, it emphasizes or multiplies their significance.

Vertical Line (Vertikaaljoon): Symbolizing the cosmic axis, or “Ilmasammas,” this line connects the heavens and earth, representing the path between ancestors and future generations. Upward, it points to the future and progress; downward, it signifies returning to one’s roots.

Circle Rosettes and Diamond Motifs: Circular rosettes enclosed in rings and diamonds symbolizing earth’s fertility add elegance and meaning. Diamonds may feature “hooks” symbolizing plant young plants, celebrating growth and renewal.

Each ornament is lovingly painted, with child safe colors, highlighting these historical patterns inspired by ancient Estonian designs. These decorations bring the beauty and wisdom of Estonian culture to your holiday season, making them timeless keepsakes for years to come.
