Life for the dessert nomad is exceedingly perilous. Faced with almost unbearable weather conditions, deadly tribal rivalries and malevolent supernatural forces, one can easily see how the Tuareg value items that are believed to bring about good fortune and well being. Highly religious and superstitious, they tend to carry small biblical verses and articles of luck on their person. Their amulets and lucky jewelry possessions are all inscribed with old ancestral Berber etchings and constructed in specific geometrical shapes that provide protection to the wearer. The very metal that theses medallions are formed from silver, is considered to be fortuitous and blessed. This time pure African silver, ebony wood and white agate have been crafted into an attractive unique shield. The back is smooth to the touch and features a silver strip with the jewelers mark etched into it. The pendant and decorated silver clasp is solid, very well made and authentic Tuareg!
