The Mano Figa is a powerful ancient talisman that has been worn for centuries as a protective charm against the "Evil Eye" and bad luck. In the Victorian era, these were highly prized as exotic "Grand Tour" souvenirs. This specific specimen is a masterwork of miniature sculpture, showcasing the refined elegance of 19th-century hand-carving.
Unlike common carvings, this Figa features extraordinary anatomical detail. The fingers are tapered with dainty, pointed tips, and the artist even captured the delicate grain within the small digits. When held to the light, the material reveals a beautiful, translucent crosshatch grain, a hallmark of genuine antique bone that has aged with a soft, creamy patina.
The pendant is capped with an ornate silver finding, which bears a hallmark. While the stamp is slightly softened by time, the metal has been professionally tested at .900+ Fine Silver, ensuring the quality of the precious metal mount. It has been gently cleaned with a jewelry cloth and is ready to be worn or gifted.
