This lightweight wooden Nyami Nyami pendant is artfully hand carved in Cocobolo, an exotic hardwood that originates from Mexico, a wood highly diverse in colors and patterns, making this wearable art pendant unique and one of a kind. These images show the actual pendant you will receive. However, this particular wood tends to darken with age, therefore by the time you will receive this pendant the wood might have settled into darker reddish-brown tones.

The Nyami Nyami, otherwise known as the Zambezi River God or Zambezi Snake spirit, is one of the most important gods of the Tonga people. Traditionally the pendant is worn for protection or as a good luck charm.

- This pendant measures approximately 2" tall by 0.85" wide, and for a better visualization of its size please check out the picture with the pendant next to a US quarter.
- The pendant comes with an 18-20" adjustable black Korea waxed cord with lobster clasp, ready to wear. The waxed cord has a shinny snakeskin like texture and is a great non-fraying alternative to leather.

The pendant is sealed with three or more layers of wood lacquer in order to protect the wood against moisture and the environment. The lacquer makes the pendant moisture resistant, but not waterproof. We recommend for this product to be removed before showering or swimming.

The exotic and domestic woods we are using to create our products come from small pieces (trims) left behind by the musical instruments and deluxe furniture outlining process. Our products are not machine produced, but exclusively carved by hand.
