1 1/4" long amulet from jaw of squirrel, marmot or groundhog. Jaw cut apart and set in a double row in very rustic cup-like setting. Connection to the earth. Molars and premolars from a rodent. Symbolism: resilience. It was in pieces when it arrived in the mail; wear with care and repair with crazy glue if needed. Amulet from the late 19th c or early 20th c, maybe? A Bavarian "charivari" is a traditional, often inherited, silver chain worn on Lederhosen, featuring animal trophies like teeth, claws, and antlers. Originating in the 19th century as a hunting talisman, it was believed to bring good fortune, display hunting prowess, and signify high status or wealth. The term itself derives from the Latin for a "medley" or "chaotic collection". Amulets were worn in odd numbers for luck.
