The Zbruch Idol (Polish: Światowid ze Zbrucza; Ukrainian: Збручанський ідол) is a 9th-century limestone sculpture idol, and one of the few monuments of pre-Christian Slavic beliefs. The pillar was commonly incorrectly associated with the Slavic deity Svetovit (Sviatovid), although current opinions on the exact meaning of all the bas-reliefs and their symbols differ.
