Warrior’s Amulet

19th century, Ghana This is a wild boar’s tooth worn as a talisman.  We stitched leather around the top and made it pendant from our finest hand woven cord and rondelle.  It is simple and, yes, elegant. One of a kind 2.5 x .75 x .5″ Necklace length: 27″ A note about our woven cords.  We weave these by hand, every one of them.   Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us.  The work is labor intensive.  When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace.  It becomes her.
