EdgeReeded ArtistsGraphic design: Laimonis ŠēnbergsPlaster model: Ligita Franckeviča A key bears a special, one may even say, a slightly mystical symbolic meaning. Why? It has the ability both to unlock and to lock: to open the door to a particular room, grant access to riches or to deny these opportunities. A key has the power that elevates it above all the other objects in the world.In the family of the ancient Roman gods, Janus was the god of doors and gates. As the time passed, Janus was worshiped as the god of all beginnings (actions): the dawn was devoted to him, and the first month of the year (Januarius) was named after Janus. Statues of Janus, opposite-facing profiles of the same image, were placed near all significant entrances, e.g. to shrines or fortifications. In Japan, the key is seen as a sign of luck as it symbolically opens the doors to hidden treasures of the soul.In artworks related to Christianity, two keys reflect St. Peter's power to open the gates of paradise and hell. There are two keys also on the coat of arms of the Pope.In the Medieval period, the ritual of handing over the keys played a symbolic role: it was a complete takeover of power.In fairy tales and stories, the key often symbolises a variety of obstacles that need to be overcome in order to solve a secret.In Latvian folk wisdom, a key is associated with both pleasures and troubles: "Who finds the key, will have the luck", "If you blow in the keyhole, the devil will come home", "Putting the keys on the table will bring conflicts to your home"...Latvian cultural heritage, the lock and the fittings of a hope chest, beautifully crafted by ancient artisans, served as the artistic inspiration for the small gold coin "The Key". In the past, the hope chest was an important part of wedding rituals: it was taken to the husband's home in a horse-drawn cart, and the appearance of the hope chest sent a message about the daughter family's wealth.In the past, the hope chest was an important part of wedding rituals: it was taken to the husband's home in a horse-drawn cart, and the appearance of the hope chest sent a message about the daughter family's wealth.
