Black obsidian foot pendant with 800 silver setting and chain. Protective amulet of European origin, circa 1970, inspired by Mediterranean symbolic traditions and made with a figurative design of great personality.
Amulets in the shape of body parts have a long tradition in Italy and other Mediterranean regions. Feet, hands, eyes, and hearts were used as protective symbols against the evil eye and as talismans associated with good fortune. They were also offered in sanctuaries as ex-votos to ask for or give thanks for the healing of a specific body part. This piece, made of carved black obsidian and finished with an 800-marked silver setting, embodies this symbolic heritage in a unique piece of jewelry from the second half of the 20th century.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.
We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.
If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
