This is unique Paul. Beautiful corals well aligned and very much the same size. I wonder whether the spirals have anything to do beliefs... for good luck , protection of the child etc..? Very nice indeed to see. It is the first time I see such pendants
The spiral symbol comes from Phoenician culture and represents a spiral of life. There was a Phoenician port on the coast of Morocco near to Essaouria. the symbol originates in Morocco there.
