Heirloom Leather and Cowrie Shell Amulet

19th – early 20th century Southern Morocco. These fabulous amulets are tribal representations of the hamsa (the protective hand). The three shells are set in the leather that likely has a prayer folded within it. It is so beautifully worn from the years and years of devotion, prayer and hope. The necklace is finished with our hand woven cord, simply.

One of a kind

A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. 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 or him.

Care Instructions: Keep in a cloth bag when not in use.
