Fossil Amber in Artistic and Cultural Representations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Fossil amber is a key reference for the study of human cultures across history and to advance in the study of multiple evolutionary processes. As presented in this article, fossil amber has been used in multiple artistic representations. These representations include symbols associated with cultural values, beliefs, decorations and practices that approach animal and plant representations, jewelry designs with amber nuggets, artistic representations, and cultural-religious symbols. The characterization of the connection between fossil amber and artistic representations provides information relevant for the study of multiculturalism across history.
