1.560,00 €
Caratteristica Collana etnica di artigianato Zuni, originale gioiello di cultura Nativa del Nord America. Il soggetto principale sono i diversi esemplari di animali, seguendo la tradizione Indiana dei feticci.
I feticci, chiamati wemawe e tipici delle genti native Zuni, Pueblo e Navajo, sono considerati il tramite tra gli uomini e le forze soprannaturali. La credenza vuole che negli animali intagliati vi siano i loro stessi spiriti, ai quali spettano specifiche caratteristiche. Vengono utilizzati per gli scopi più diversi, dal propiziare la caccia al curare durante le cerimonie, sono protezioni per gli individui e per le comunità in cui vivono e possono avere proprietà sia pratiche che spirituali. Per creare questa bellissima collana sono state utilizzate la pietra turchese, differenti varietà di Diaspro, caitlinite (argilla metamorfica utilizzata dagli indiani per ricavare i fornelli delle loro pipe sacre), giaietto (un mineraloide di origine vegetale comunemente chiamato legno fossile), madreperla, conchiglia spiney oyster ed alabastro.
Gran parte della collana è composta dall’insieme dei feticci mentre il dietro è formato da piccole rondelline di conchiglia, rendendo il tutto molto lineare ed elegante, compresa la semplice chiusura in argento.
Collana di grande fascino, esprime appieno lo spirito originario degli Indiani d’America.

Descrizione
Characteristic Necklace of Native culture, made by a Zuni craftsman in North America. The main subjects are the different species of animals here featured following the tradition of Indian fetishes.
The fetishes, called wemawe and typical of the Zuni, Navajo and Pueblo native peoples, are considered the intermediary between men and supernatural forces. The belief is that in the carved animals lie their own spirits, each of which has specific characteristics. They are used for various purposes, from charms to propitiate hunting and healing practices during ceremonies; they are also protection tools for both the individuals and the communities they live in and may have both practical and spiritual properties.
The materials used to create this beautiful piece are: turquoise, different varieties of jasper, caitlinite (a metamorphic clay used by Indians to shape the bowls of their sacred pipes), jet (a mineral-like fossil wood), mother of pearl, spiney oyster shell and alabaster.
The fetishes make up great part of the necklace, while at the back there are a series of tiny slices of shell with a simple sterling silver clasp in the central part.
Necklace of great charm, it fully expresses the original spirit of the initial inhabitants of the lads hereafter called America.
