Lovely amulet. this is an protective amulet worn in a southern province of Ethiopia,Sidamo. It is worn on a leather strap. the circles are eyes to protect the wearer against the evil eyes.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Ingrid. I really appreciate the help I've received from you and Eva.
Hi ANjali thanks for your message. Yes, this is a Sidamo Amulett as Ingrid wrote. She is the expert on Ethiopian things.. I thought the circles could mean eyes but was not sure. Now we have Ingrid's confirmation. great to know! Am glad it worked out well (the loading of the Picture).
