This necklace features a finely carved pendant representing the Tumi, the iconic pre-Columbian ceremonial knife, a symbol of protection, health, and good fortune. The pendant stands out for its reddish hue with subtle natural veining and delicate green inlays in the eyes, capturing the mystique of Andean iconography inspired by our ancestral cultures. The pendant is suspended from a gold/beige macrame cord, handwoven with a twisted pattern that enhances the pendant and adds organic texture. The Tumi is one of the most important and recognizable symbols of pre-Hispanic Peru. Although popularly associated with the Inca culture, its origin and greatest artistic splendor actually belong to the Moche, Sicán (Lambayeque), and Chimú cultures (developed on the northern coast of Peru).
