Highlights
The balangandan is a religious object typical of Brazil, and particularly of the state of Bahia, that represents the encounter between African and European cultures. In Portuguese, it is called a penca, or bouquet, while the name balangandan is an onomatopoetic word meant to recall the sound made by the object's dangling metal baubles. These charms or good luck pieces were first worn by African slaves in Brazil in the 17th and 18th centuries.
This vintage brooch has 7 lucky talisman/charms including a gourds, two water containers and various fruits. The charms CAN be taken out of the brooch, as it has a small key that allows you to open it. Very versatile, can be worn as brooch or pendant.
