This time I am offering a fantastic antique Peruvian Sterling Silver filigree bracelet with Machu Picchu Llamas. It's a fantastic bracelet for anyone, but even more so if you are interested in the mystical. Silver is of course a sacred metal representing nobility, purity and serenity. Silver is associated with The Moon, and mystical secrets.The llama is an important animal in Peruvian life, history, society, and religion, serving important functions. The llama is able to live at high altitudes, and it's coat provides high quality wool for clothing. It's more than that, though. The llama is a mystical animal companion, as illustrated in the story posted below, where the llama saves mankind from a Worldwide Deluge or Flood. This mythology, like the story of Noah's ark, may be based in reality. I purchased this recently along with other items that belonged to a lady I know who is selling off much of her collections to move to the Southwest and relax in the beautiful high desert, one of her favorite places. This bracelet has been cared for and is in excellent vintage condition. Thanks for helping the cats, and thanks for helping my friend with your purchase. I'll be listing more of her wonderful items so please check back.  Wonderfully Defined Form & Beautiful FiligreeMarked Sterling PeruThe Llama's Warning An old Peruvian myth relates how the world was nearly left without an inhabitant. A man took his llama to a fine place for feeding, but the beast moaned and would not eat, and on its master questioning it, it said there was little wonder it was sad, because in five days the sea would rise and engulf the earth. The man, alarmed, asked if there was no way of escape, and the llama advised him to go to the top of a high mountain, Villa-Coto, taking food for five days. When they reached the summit of the hill all kinds of birds and animals were already there. When the sea rose the water came so near that it washed the tail of a fox, and that is why foxes' tails are black! After five days the water fell, leaving only this one man alive, and from him the Peruvians believed the present human race to be descended. This is a beautiful bracelet to collect or give. There are no issues to report.The Fantastic Ancient Inca City of Machu PicchuOne of the New Seven Wonders of the WorldA Newborn Llama at Machu PicchuBlessed Be, Friend!THANK YOU FOR LOOKINGQUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMEJUST ASKI prefer United States Postal Money Orders or Paypal.
