Stonehenge Framed Magnet
Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance. Its original purpose is unclear, but some have speculated that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth deities. It has been called an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar. Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.Started approximately 5,000 years ago as a large earthwork; a bank and ditch arrangement called a henge, Stonehenge was finally completed around 1500 BC with 50 ton stones from the Marlborough Plains used to make the outer ring that stands today.This beautiful Stonehenge magnet is carefully crafted from a hard-carved original and then lovingly hand-finished in Gloucestershire, England.Weight: 45g (All measurements approximate)
