| Description |
Powerful in its simplicity, this flat talisman was
probably worn around the neck to bring good
fortune. It represents a person in perpetual
prayer, asking favor of the gods. The person who
once wore it and the gods he believed in have
been forgotten with time. Yet, in the presence of
this amulet, we feel the energy, the heartbeat
of that distant life and the colorful world he
inhabited.
