Horn Talisman

Tuft of grey fur at the end of a deep red point, strung from a woven cap.

This is a talisman of horn, fur and hemp. Horn is a hard keratin material that can be cut, scraped and polished, and hemp fiber is a strong, long-used cordage for binding and hanging small objects. Here, a small hanging charm with a woven metal cap and loop at the top. A fringe of grizzled grey-brown fur spills below it. A glossy, deep red pointed tip emerges from the fur, smooth and polished. It is 2 inches long and 0.5 in diameter.

Furry on top, glossy on the bottom, and not shy.
