Categories:
TWO EXCEPTIONAL NECKLACES. (A) Dogon people, Mali. Worn by a hunter. Has 8 old hand sewn leather amulets or protective charms separated by brass rings strung on a black cord. To palpation, the amulets seem to contain some material which is traditionally either protective herbs or paper with excerpts of religious scripture. Leather, brass, cord. Length 18in. (B) West African cotton spinning weights. Before commercially prepared cotton thread was available in Africa, native cotton was spun by hand. The raw cotton balls were held up in one hand and pulled out into threads that was wound around a weighted spindle turned in the other hand. One picture shows a North African woman spinning cotton thread on a weighted spindle below her right hand. The second picture shows three spools of native cotton thread wound on spindles with weights. The necklace has 24 very old spindle weights with finely engraved designs made of fired clay strung on a cord. Length 12in.
