Necklace with small Sa Pintadera nuragic symbol pendant.
"Sa pintadera" represents one of the symbols of Sardinia. A terracotta or ceramic jewel with a circular shape. There are several theories about its meaning. Some scholars think it is an astral depiction used as a calendar in Nuragic times. Others, based on the finding of some small bronzes, claim it to be stamps used to decorate bread and textiles. In all likelihood the two theories may also be compatible.
