555 Kč

The Tupi bracelets were made for Saravá by the chief of a small Brazilian village of the Tupinambá tribe. Black beads alternate with the worked bone of a wild pig. They promote endurance and stamina, bring strength, but also serve to protect.

The Tupinambá Indians use the bones of the animals they hunt for their jewellery and process almost everything from the animal in various ways so that nothing is left over.

The bracelet has a tightening snap which can be used to adjust its size.

In some traditions, the boar represents a powerful and assertive force that encourages individuals to face their fears and persevere through challenges.
The boar is also considered a creature connected to the earth, urging individuals to ground themselves and embrace the natural world.
