English private collection; acquired in the 1970s. The cimaruta is a very old charm rooted in the lore of the Old Religion of Italy. Like many of the lasting ancient symbols and beliefs the cimaruta design eventually took on symbolic elements of Catholicism. One example of a Christian addition to the design is the appearance of 'the sacred heart' of Jesus. The word cimaruta literally means 'a sprig of rue', a herb that is highly featured in Italian magic and lore.The branch of the rue is divided into three stems symbolising the triformis goddess Diana. Rue is one of the sacred herbs of this goddess. Various charms appear on the rue design and each one bears its own meaning. The primary symbols are the moon, serpent, and key.These represent the goddess in her triple form as Hecate (the key), Diana (the moon) and Proserpina (the serpent"). This ancient grouping of the goddess appears in the ancient writings of such figures as Lucan. Ovid and Horace also feature the goddess Diana in their writings related to witchcraft. These amulets were mostly produced from the late 18th century up to the present day in Naples, South Italy, where belief in the Evil Eye has remained strong. [No Reserve] Very fine condition.
