Description
- Vintage Ethiopian blade shaped bone pendant embellished on both sides with dots and circle/dot eye designs. This one shows signs of long use around the hole at the top, but still safe to use. 4 inches long. Warm light amber color
- These were traditionally worn by men (possibly healers or diviners according to my sources) on long necklaces that often included trade beads such as Russian Blues and/or White Hearts.
- They make bold pendants, I've seen them used horizontally as focals, sometimes with strands of beads dangling from them, as well as a vertically pendant.
- Beads appear more and more in home decor, I can also see these working nicely as fan, light or curtain pulls.
- I recently found a stash in storage so there's a nice selection, each one unique
