The Story
The prototype of the sudenpääsolje was found in the Viking Age cemetery of Euran Luistar in the grave of an apparently wealthy man - the deceased was dressed in a yellow silk tunic and a blue cloak, which was fastened by an exceptionally attractive wolf's head and a jewelry pin decorated with Scandinavian ribbon braid ornaments.
Sudenpääsolki was part of the Luistari collection, which was announced on Kalevala Day 1996. The prototypes of the collection's jewelry were found at Eura's Luistari, one of Finland's most significant archaeological sites. Part of the proceeds from the sale of Luistari jewelry was donated to scientific research in the Luistari area and to make it known. The manufacture of Luistari jewelry was stopped at the turn of the millennium.
