BRONZE AGE DOUBLE BUTTONS IN ESTONIA
BRONZE AGE DOUBLE BUTTONS IN ESTONIA

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with Bronze Age double buttons found in Estonia. About ten of these are known, made of bronze, amber and antler. A survey is given of the known finds, their possible use and meaning is discussed. Without precluding the possibility that double buttons could have also had the function of button, i.e. means of fastening, their symbolic meaning, which was probably connected with the Bronze Age sun cult, was apparently more important.
