The box has "legs" that allow it to stand on a shelf and which you can fold so that, if you wish, the box can be hung on the wall.
The height of the box is 34 cm, width 26 cm, depth 5 cm, while the diameter of Jarilo is 20 cm.
Jarilo is the author's work of sculptor Jovan Petronijević.
In the mythology of the Serbs JAROVID (Jarovit, Jarilo, Gerovit) is the god of war, the sun and the bringer of fertility.
Known as the protector of the weak and powerless, he was a fighter for justice, peace and harmony among people. That is why he is often invoked to protect people, livestock and crops from hail clouds, but also to bring rain in times of drought, and to give the earth fertility and new life.
The holiday we celebrate today as St. George's Day in ancient times belonged to this deity and was celebrated in almost the same way.
Even then, believers brought green branches, leaves and flowers from early in the morning, and decorated houses, gates and pens. Wreaths of field flowers would be thrown into the river or stream, so that the sheep, cows and goats would give as much milk as the water would flow under them.
Also, the boys made a doll out of straw and a green branch, which represented Gerovit, and threw it into the water, hoping that it would make the birth year possible.
In his warrior aspect, he is represented as a strong knight with seven heads and eight swords, his chest covered with iron mesh armor, with a large defensive and shining shield, covered with gold plates with the image of a white double-headed eagle, which was kept as a holy relic in the temple and presented before the people who worshiped him with their foreheads touching the ground.
