Antique Glass Talhakimt Pendants from the African Trade - Rita Okrent Collection (P764)

Color: Green

LIMITED AVAILABILITY: only 6 left

A selection of colorful glass talhakimt amulets from the African Trade.
Glass talhakimt pendants were produced by both the French and Czech-Bohemian bead industries during the trade bead era, in this case between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were exported mainly to West Africa, where they were believed to have amuletic properties, including for fertility. Mauritanian women wore them in elaborate headdresses, plaited into long braids.

Several colors available. Most amulets have striped and cross hair pattern. 
Condition: These amulets are in overall very good condition, though some have dirt and wear. 
Size: Pendant sizes vary between 2-2.25 inches / 5- 5.7 cm tall.
Buy more for less - buy 3 of any color mix at a discount.
