Bone Talisman

Pale curved fang capped in a knitted metal cuff with a loop to hang by.

This is a talisman of carved bone and cotton. A talisman is an object worn or carried in the belief that it protects the holder, and such pieces are found in many cultures around the world. Seen straight on, a long, curved cream-white point with fine cracks and brown staining, fitted at its broad end with a dark woven metal cap. A small loop at the top allows it to be hung. The tip tapers to a sharp edge. It is 0.75 inches long, 0.5 deep and 3.25 high.

Pendant ambitions, with a point to make.
