SUMMARY This article discusses a lithic object originally used as a mould for cross decorations and later reworked into the shape of a disc and inscribed with peculiar signs. Besides discussing the disc’s possible provenance and age, the emphasis of this study is put on the signs. It is suggested that even if zodiac symbols were the main inspiration for carving signs onto this disc, the purpose was not to depict only the zodiac circle itself but the meaning of the whole composition derived from Early Modern astral magic. Thus, the main function of the disc was most probably to solicit the help of some spirits and secure benefits for the owner of the disc.

石头中的符号——来自爱沙尼亚南部拉塔玛农场的纺锤、护身符或魔法物品

小结 本文讨论了一个石器，最初用作十字装饰的模具，后来被重新加工成圆盘形状，并刻有特殊的符号。除了讨论圆盘的可能出处和年龄外，这项研究的重点还放在了标志上。有人认为，即使生肖符号是在此盘上雕刻标志的主要灵感来源，其目的也不仅仅是描绘生肖圈本身，而是描绘源自早期现代星体魔法的整个构图的意义。所以，这盘的主要作用，多半是为盘主求一些神灵的帮助，为盘主谋取利益。
