A recently made silver Tuareg-style cross pendant from Morocco, featuring a hand-etched design on silver. This type of cross was traditionally made in Niger where it was passed from father to son at the age of puberty as a protective pendant on his future travels. A very wearable and unusual symbolic pendant.
