An Amulet Holder: What Is It?

An amulet is a piece of jewelry believed to have special powers and protect its holder from various forms of harm, such as danger, evil spirits, diseases, or negative energy. They have captivated humans for centuries, offering protection against unseen forces and embodying deep cultural symbolism. Amulets were worn on jewelry, clothing, or attached to the body for protection. Carved into the shape of gods, animals, insects, or plants, each had its own special purpose. Amulet work is a powerful way to constantly be walking in one’s craft, used by practitioners of magic across the vastness of time and throughout many different traditions.

A tumar is a triangular amulet holder, commonly worn on the chest, waist, or shoulders. This example is made of silver metal and has twelve rust orange translucent stones. Amulets are pendants or charms worn for their protective or magical powers. Flat folded leather pouches with wide straps were also used to house amulets or prayer scrolls.

Amulets are an ode to individuality, representing a range of symbols, talismans, and motifs. Collectable designs can be worn alone on a chain or with a box chain.
