Star of Macedonia Greek coin cufflinks sterling silver 925 21 X 21 mm HANDMADE
The Vergina Sun also known as the "Star of Vergina", "Macedonian Star" or "Argead Star" is a rayed solar symbol appearing in ancient Greek art of the period between the 6th and 2nd centuries BC. The Macedonian 'sun' or 'star' (has also been described as a 'starburst' by historians) was found embossed on the solid gold larnax in the burial tomb of Philip II of Macedon (father of popular Alexander the Great) outside the town of Vergina in Northern Greece. The sun which remains today a well known Greek symbol was an emblem of the mighty Macedonian dynasty and possibly a religious symbol at the time of Alexander the Great. The excavations in Vergina constitute a sensational archaeological site, while the larnaca itself is today kept in a museum very close by.
