Mid 20th century brazilian silver hanging amulet from native culture in Brazil. Known as "Penca de Balangandãs" was used in the ancient times as an amulet by the enslaved African population in Colonial Brazil. This "set" of pieces brought together by a gorgeous support decorated with birds, tells a little about the history of enslaved people in Brazil during the colonial and imperial periods. Worn by women, this type of piece is considered an "jóia de crioula". It was mostly used on festive days, tied around the waist, showing that this woman, despite being enslaved - often already a "freed slave" - had a social status above the others around, a distinguishing factor. This "penca de balangandãs" could bring various types of objects.
