Kuchi Taweez with Tassels
Kuchi Taweez with Tassels
The central part is a classic cylindrical taweez – a compartment for a rolled-up fragment of a prayer, verse, or personal note. The body is decorated with delicate engraving and two red glass elements set symmetrically on the front. The metal has a natural patina, with some abrasions and minor traces of time, which are not a defect, but rather a testament to use.
The lower edge of the cylinder is finished with short chains ending in flat plates. There are no coins here – instead, there are raw, simple elements that produce a soft, metallic sound when moved. The whole is lightweight, yet retains the visual heft characteristic of Kuchi jewelry.
The chain consists of links and elongated, embossed segments with a plant motif. The structure is flexible, fits well around the neck, and does not overwhelm the silhouette. It's a design for everyday wear rather than ceremonial wear – simpler, less elaborate, yet therefore authentic and austere.
Taweez in this form is not a decoration in the Western sense. It's a protective item, worn close to the body. Even empty, it retains symbolic meaning – as a capsule for an intention, a word, a fragment of text meant to accompany the wearer.
