These Bohemian/ Czech cast glass Tanfouk pendants circa 1930’s strung simply on a leather cord are just beautiful! In West Africa, they were believed to have Amuletic properties; The circle symbolized female energy and the triangle represented male energy. The Tanfouk represented the union of male and female and were considered a type of "Love Charm”. Used as both necklaces and hair ornaments, these particular pieces were created in the glass factories of Czechoslovakia and traded in the Western Sahara in the early 20th Century. #tanfouk #tanfouknecklace #tanfoukpendant #bohemianglass #1930s #lovecharm #love #sahara #westernsahara #unionofmaleandfemale #westafrica #amulet #maleenergy #femaleenergy #energy #mensjewelry #unisexjewelry #simplejewelry #uniquejewelry #quirky #bohemian #fashion #style #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC)
