Absolutely unique very large creole ‘Penca De Balangandan’ from Brazil from around 1960.
\nTin base, possibly silver plated.
\nTraditional slave amulet filled with protective & symbolic charm.
\nOften carried by (Afro-Brazilian) Bahian women in traditional ceremonies or special events.
\nBahian women often were referred to as ‘Brazilian women’.
\nHowever, this particular one would have been placed above a door or inside the house for protection.<\/p>\n

The Penca De Balangandan features several different symbols or abstract fruit, like oranges, pomegrande, corn cobs, grapes & ‘Fruta do Conde or Fruta Pinha’.<\/p>\n

Unusual large size, this amulet is far from commonly found.<\/span><\/p>\n
