They were complex adornments comprising a \u201cbase\u201d \u2013 an arched chain-holder, a wire ring or another object holding a composition together, a chain, or a ribbon\/strap to which small pendants were attached \u2013 zoomorphic ones, or shaped as everyday objects, bells, drilled teeth of predators, and sometimes objects of personal devotion. In the second half of the 20th century, researchers regarded such finds as magical amulets and evidence of the remnants of paganism in Rus. The authors of this article assume that the sets of \u201camulets\u201d were objects of personal devotion rather than attributes of pagan cults. It is worth noting the similarity of the zoomorphic images with art pieces of Christian culture (book miniatures, architectural carvings, etc.). The pendants shaped as miniature household objects are similar to attributes of saints and elements of church decoration and liturgy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI: <\/strong>10.7868\/S3034577426020070<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentina N.
