Sun with Peace symbol. Pewter pendant

Peace symbol. It was originally used as the nuclear disarmament symbol in Britain, but it became popular in the 60s, when it was adopted by the hippies in the protests against the Vietnam war.

The Sun is one of the most important symbols for every culture. The Sun is the fountain of warmth, light and life. It represents daytime and consciousness, the origin of the energy we use. It is a yang symbol, having the moon as its opposing yin.
