- Abstract
- The article considers graffiti in the form of “symbols (signs) of eternity” scratched on the fang of a walrus (the first half of 10th c.), originated from Rurikovo gorodische and depicted on the Northern wall of the sacristan side-alter of the Cathedral of Saint Sophia (the second half of the 11th c.). The depictions of triangles formed by three contiguous feet and also 8-shaped sign which represent a close graphic system with rhythmically repetitive elements, a sort of “knots” without the beginning and the end, are interesting. All the “symbols of eternity” considered in the article have a religious and magic meaning.
