Product Information

Beautiful, old Tuareg ring, decorated with traditional ornamental patterns: a combination of lines and triangles known as “the Prophet’s sandals.”

This decoration serves, on one hand, a protective function against negative influences, and on the other, it can indicate a person’s social rank, wealth, and prestige in the community.

The wavy lines engraved on the sides of the ring symbolize water, whose magical purpose is to wash away human illnesses.

It is worth remembering that for the Tuareg, silver is a sacred and protective material. That is why the vast majority of their talismans and jewelry are made from this metal.
