Ifugao Lingling-o Necklace
$24
Handmade by the Ifugao in the Corderilla mountains of the Philippines, the lingling-o is a centuries-old symbol of fertility and luck since the Metal Age of the Philippines from 500-1000 AD. The negative space formed within the solid pendant is often interpreted to represent the internal female reproductive system.
