Looking for a totally unique broach? This fantastic Antique Mapuche Runi Broach certainly fits thats bill, dangles a tantalizing 16” and traditionally would have been worn attached to a necklace or pinned to a jacket/shawl. The chime/bell shape, resembling the indigenous Angel's Trumpet flower, not only invokes associations with feminine beauty and fertility, but also serves to ward off attack by pillanes, sometimes mischievous spirits, and more importantly, wekufes, or malicious demons and spirits. The abstracted female shapes are believed to bring fertility and protection to expectant mothers. #mapuche #mapuchejewelry #runi #antiquejewelry #antiquebroach #chile #1920sjewelry #fertility #protection #beauty #ethnicjewelry #ethnicstyle #uniquestyle #style #fashion #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0_-BLhNXk/?igshid=o6irahwc31vb
