This antique pendant is called a ëDagdaní after the sacred tree which grows high in the mountains is believed to be a strong antidote to evil - others refer to it as the 2-headed eagle. Highly prized among Tekke women, they were worn for their protective powers. The carnelian was intentionally shaped like eyes in order to thwart off any evil eye directed towards the wearer. The color red is paramount since it symbolizes the vibrant life force that courses through our veins, and wearing beads of this color is believed to strengthen that life force.
