Wounaan Embera Vintage Tagua Frog Pendant Carving-Panama 16050217L

This Frog pendant carving is perhaps more than 20 years old.

I remember well buying it along with a number of others back then. It was customary in those days to meet the artists at the Balboa post office. We would sit on the steps and sort tagua carvings according to the animal. Then I would make offers on the various groups. It was fun and I suspect I bought thousands of carvings on those steps over the years. What still impresses me is how the ink colors have held up.

This carving was made into a pendant. It has the jump ring so you are ready to go. Carvings that are light lend themselves to jewelry. In fact, I get requests for them from folks who like to make their own creations. If making jewelry is your thing give it a try. Once these carvings are added to an attractive necklace the price jumps dramatically.
