The glory of the Great Moravian Empire is over, but its existence influenced the Slavic world. For example the first Slavic alphabet - Glagolitsa, the ancestor of recent Cyrillic alphabet, comes from this epoch. It was also the age of skilful craftsmen. This pendant shows a horseman "hawking" from the Slavonic Dark Age.
