They have been associated with the Slavic god Perun, the supreme deity of the pagan Slavs who shared many characteristics with the Viking Thor. Perun carried a weapon of similar shape and function to Thor's hammer, which was worn as an amulet by his followers. Two styles of Perun axe amulets are known; style I resembles a battle axe with a knob-like protrusion at one end. Type II (of which this is an example) show a symmetrically shaped broad blade with two horn-like protrusions diametrically opposite on the upper and lower side. Like Thor's hammer, they were worn to invoke the protection of the god. [No Reserve]
