Vintage Silver Tuareg Tisek Tanfouk Ring, Mali

£125.00

Beautiful old Tuareg silver ring with translucent banded agate tanfouk, made in the 1950s in Mali. This ring has different decorative hand-etched tribal designs on each side of the silver setting and a silver band. Tisek rings can be worn as finger rings or as pendants on leather cord. This ring is more likely to have been worn as a pendant due to the length and pointed end of the tanfouk. Tuareg people also wear them braided into their hair. The agate offers perceived protection to the wearer. A beautiful ring or pendant in very good vintage condition.
