The Trypillian fylfot.

Abstract

The study deals with one kind of Trypillian cosmogonic ornamentation – the swastika. The methodological basis of the work is a retrospective approach, the principle of historicism, scientific objectivity, a critical and structural-systematic approach to the literary and source base of the work. The specificity of the topic under study involves the use of comparative-historical and structural-semitic methods that help to identify the origins of this symbol, to trace the change of its meaningful load.
