The artifact was found during archaeological work on a 15th-century harbor crane located between two defense towers.

Polish archaeologists discovered a medieval decoration in the shape of a dove with a Latin inscription: “AMOR VINCIT OMNIA” – “Love conquers all.” It was reported by Arkeonews.

The dove badge contained the remains of two separate handles, which made it possible to hang it on a chain or attach it to clothing.

For the ancient Greeks and Romans, the dove symbolized love, devotion and care. The dove is the sacred animal of the love goddesses Aphrodite and Venus.

“When you think of birds and love, a pair of pigeons is the most likely image that comes to mind. in the museum.

The National Maritime Museum in Gdansk says that similar patterns were popular in Gdansk between the 14th and 15th centuries, and that this fashion originated in Western Europe, especially in the Netherlands and England.

The artifact was found during archaeological work on a 15th-century harbor crane located between two defensive towers.

It was once the largest working crane in the world, but served as a defensive structure and one of the city’s gates. It has a lifting capacity of 4 tons up to a height of 11 meters, which is achieved thanks to two massive wooden wheels at the base, each of which has a diameter of six meters.

As of 2020, renovations are underway to restore the port crane, which was heavily damaged during World War II.

The repair and modernization of the crane is scheduled to be completed by April 30, 2024.

It was previously reported that archaeologists have completely excavated the remains of the Temple of Artemis on the island of Euboea (Greece), which was built around 700 BC.
