Description

The Andean symbol of the Incan civilization, our chakana talisman necklace is created from black and white stones in a horizontal pattern. Derived from Quechua, the traditional language of the Incas, the word chakay, means to cross or to bridge, as between this world and the other-worlds. A chakana is a 3-stepped symmetric cross, sometimes with a hole in the center. Strung on black cord with a silver-tone accent bead. Each item is unique and handmade in Peru. Choice of white top or black top.

This item is discounted because the black cord is split. It can be tied in a knot to make it whole again. Or the face of the stone is slightly scratched or damaged or the colors are not exactly as pictured.
