Stećak from Žgošće near Kakanj, Bosnia,
with motifs of ancient astrology. It also contains a common symbol of the Star
of the North (top right), usually depicted in ancient scrolls as letter x with four
"crescent moons" (in fact, highlighted stellar rays, as the observers saw it with the

naked eye in the night sky). In a simplified form, the symbol resembles the coat of
arms of Illyria, but it is merely a prayer mark expressing a desire for happiness and
success. Namely, the coats of arms of pre-Antiquity and Antiquity states are
exclusively connected with kings and their dynastic symbols such as scepter,
crown, throne, etc., but not with astral symbols that belonged exclusively to clergy
and religions as official insignia.
