About 500 to 600 B. C., the fylfot, (Swastika) curiously enough begins
to disappear as a favorite device of early Greek art, and is rarely,
if ever, seen on the regular Etruscan vase.
This indicates that the period of the use of the Swastika during the
Bronze Age in Europe lay back of the period of its disappearance in the
time of early Greek art, and that it was of higher antiquity than would
otherwise be suspected.
