A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our tribal components are used pieces from from faraway lands. As used pieces they may be tarnished or otherwise reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different. This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that cleaning might diminish.
We do our best to describe any flaws that may be present, and we encourage you to read the full description and look at all photos closely to judge the condition of the item for yourself and know exactly what you are ordering. If you have questions about the condition of any item, please ask!
Metal amulets are widely used by tribal peoples for embellishing adult and children's clothing, bags, animal trappings and all manner of textile items for personal and household use. They are stamped into sheet metal with a design tool and then cut out by machine or by hand. Finally there are holes punched into the metal on each side to allow the piece to be attached with thread. The beauty of metal amulets is that they are small and lightweight and can be sewn to anything you like!
