African Turkana Pendant for the focal point on this Tribal necklace.

Necklace with authentic African handmade aluminum pendant and assorted beads.


Just listed in my Etsy Shop.   http://www.etsy.com/shop/Mukwoh 

This unusual hand made pendant was crafted by the Turkana people from the Lake Turkana area in the far northern reaches of Kenya.

The old blacksmiths hammer shapes to a very thin layer from copper or brass wire and if metal is scarce, they use old aluminum cooking pots for their jewelry. The spear shape pendant listed here was created from one of their old pots.
