For Baltic tribes swastika was sun and thunder gods sign. Swastika – one of the most frequently repeated Lithuanian folk art motifs. They were on statues, furniture, chests and even eastern eggs. Dynamics of the swastika describes it’s Lithuanian name “sūkurėlis” (vortex).

In Lithuania for many centuries, swastika was used by noble families in their blazons. In our neighbor country Latvia city of Liepaja, two meters in diameter swastika carved on a monument for Latvia’s independence struggle in 1919-1922
