This pendant depicts a person kneeling in a praying position. The carving isn't minutely detailed like some vintage carvings, but it is a very beautiful piece.
The pendant has been made by hand, in Africa, (however we are not sure of the wood, but it looks to us like Ebony) by artisans and definitely a long time ago. This stock is at least 30 years old (out of someone's storage - and what a find they were!).
How amazing will your necklace be with some old tribal style or sand cast beads, with the pendant in the centre. Or, you could just wear the pendant alone on a nice length of leather!
Measurements: about 55mm long (including the loop) x 8mm wide with a threading hole of 2.5~3mm. Being wood, you can ream out the hole for a larger cord or rope if you so desire.
