I’ve always loved the talismans made by the Ersari, Tekke and Yomud tribes of Turkmenistan. The ‘asyk’ or heart-shaped pendant has been typically worn by women and symbolizes health and fertility.
Here is my own version, with a large sun at the center to bring warmth to the heart.
Robust Talisman.
Handmade with carnelian and recycled sterling silver.
