Large square Kuchi pendant features large red glass jewels and hollow dangles for a nice jingle. These square pendants are usually found on large necklaces with multiple pendants. These large squares are designed to mimic amulet box pendants. Amulet boxes are frequently empty or, like this piece, are simply a piece of flat metal, but the design remains the same, and it is believed that the shape of the pendant alone is enough to protect the wearer.

You will receive the exact piece(s) shown in the photos on this page. Please check photos carefully for condition. These are used tribal pieces that have previously adorned tribal clothing, accessories, household goods, animal trappings or other items. As a previously used tribal item it may have small flaws that should not be considered defects, but add character and authenticity to tribal items.
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. 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 and polishing 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!
