This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Saxon idol of the Sun. Crafted in wood and engraved with utmost precision in 1834, this artifact represents an ancient deity worshipped by the Saxons. Standing as a testament to their religious beliefs and cultural heritage, this idol holds immense significance. The intricate details carved into the wood reveal the craftsmanship and devotion that went into its creation. The sun, symbolizing life-giving energy and divine power, takes center stage on this engraving. Its rays extend outward, radiating warmth and light to all who behold it.
