    The spiral motif was one of the most enduring and ancient motifs of jewellery. It was very popular with the people of the Bronze Age Mediterranean, but especially in Central Europe. It was seen as a symbol of life and death, day and night, rebirth and eternity. Obviously, the double spiral, like in our case, was also used as a decorative motif.
