Silver Double Headed Eagle Men’s Necklace

Silver Double-Headed Eagle Men's Necklace

The double-headed eagle is a historical figure that has been adopted by many different cultures in the Eurasian region. The double-headed eagle figure was first seen in Mesopotamia between the end of 3000 and the beginning of 2000 BC. It later spread throughout Central Asia. The double-headed eagle was loved and used by Turkish civilizations in the phase extending to Anatolia. Many symbolic meanings have been attributed to this use. In Central Asia, the double-headed eagle is used as an amulet, a talisman, and a symbol of light and the sun. It is also known to represent greatness and dominance. On coins, some rulers used it as a coat of arms-symbol, while others used it as a motif that supported and reinforced their ruling power. The double eagle symbol, used on Artuqid coins and Seljuk structures in Anatolia, was used on city walls, mosques, madrasahs, and palaces as a symbol of protection and sovereignty, and as a protection against evil forces. Incidentally, we see the double eagle motif also used by the Byzantines. This motif symbolized the state and church in Byzantium, held together and governed by a single body. From the 14th century onward, it was adopted as the dynastic coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperors and later as a symbol of nobility in Europe. It was also used in the state coats of arms of the German, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian Empires. All of our products are handcrafted.
