Old /antique Indian Tribal pendant. Protection Amulet. Horse. Fine silver

  
This is a Old Silver Tribal pendant. The pendant was originally made and worn by the tribal gypsy people of Rajasthan in Northern India. It features a warrior called Baba Ramdi on his horse. Baba Ramdi is a local folklore hero who singled-handedly saved his village from an army of bandits, and so his image is worn as a strong protection amulet.

I bought the pendant in Rajastan myself. It is 60-150 years old, and is extremely pure fine silver with 98% purity. (Sterling silver is 92.5%). The pendant is 3.2 cm high and 2.3 cm across. I will send the pendant on a length of very strong black cotton cord, tied into an adjustable length slip knot.

I have been making my living exclusively from designing and making jewellery for 9 years. I travel every year to seek out old and tribal silver from Asia and India along with semi-precious stones. Back at home in Brighton, England, I make these loose pieces up into beautiful and unusal jewellery. Every item will be send beautifully packaged in a cotton gift bag made especially for me by a women's self help group in India.
