A single fruit dangles from the natural life of braided rami fiber, its fluid beads brilliantly subtle. Romualdo Vieira uses black, red, and white to represent Axe, the vital energy who mobilizes the universe according to traditional Yoruba beliefs. The Yoruba culture arrived to Brazil through West African slaves, especially those taken from the Sudan. Compositionally superb, this necklace will elegantly adorn any lady.
If the piece becomes wet, dry under a strong source of light.
