Exotic Tribal Turkmen Chest Piece, Ethnic Amulet Cylinder Statement Pendant, Scrimshaw Beads
Exotic Tribal Turkmen Chest Piece, Ethnic Amulet Cylinder Statement Pendant, Scrimshaw Beads
Rare and scarce components are featured in this OOAK exotic Turkmen Tribal Ethnic Chest Piece with a Cylinder Amulet whose traditional use was to carry prayers written by an Iman, Sheik or professional text writer. I understand that this can be opened but I leave this and the liability to the buyer.
The cylinder shows inlaid blue, green and red glass, the latter of which represents or symbolizes blood and serves as a protective function against blood loss, miscarriages and the like.
The meaning of the stones is of greater significance than is the quality of the material. Pendant measures 8" x 8.5" and has numerous dangles.
The upper portion was designed by me and includes recycled jumbo African blue glass beads, erotic faux scrimshaw* from China (depicting sexual positions and practices), green coral, blue lapis, silver tone daisy spacers and tribal spacers. The original red plastic beads add authenticity. Adjusts from 30-33". 19" drop from clasp to dangles.
Closes with a lobster claw clasp and a 3" extender chain. A great piece for belly dancers or men.
*Not etched but appear to have a decal attached to them.
