AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three traditional silvered necklaces, with silver-blue agate and cast glass. Silver-blue agate is a soft, light-blue to silvery quartz variety known for its calming and harmonizing properties. Cast glass is often used in vintage Tuareg jewelry to imitate gemstones. They were made by the Tuareg from the Western Sahara (Niger, Mali). The necklaces/pendants are very finely worked and engraved with silver tubular ornaments and black beads. They contain a low silver content.
Dimensions
Necklace with silver-blue agate: 28 cm (length measured on the strand only); pendant is 5.5 x 3.5 x 1 cm
Necklace with Southern Cross: 29 cm (length measured on the strand only); pendant 7 x 3.7 x 0.05 cm
Necklace with blue triangle: 28 cm (length measured on the strand only) and 4.6 x 3 x 0.4 cm
The necklaces are in good condition with signs of age and wear.
Similar necklaces are depicted in Tuareg, J.B. Cuypers, Fotoboek and tentoonstellingscatalogus, Tervuren, 1994. Purchased on site during a trip to the Sahara in 2020 and 2021.
Will be shipped with track and trace.
Seller's Story
Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art.
Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
