Brazilian Good Luck Penca Charm Brooch of Bahia
Rustic old Brazilian charm brooch known as a penca de balangandans. These are designed so that they can be opened and other charms can be added as needed. There is alot of lore connected to this type of Latin American jewelry. They are said to bring good luck and abundance. Each charm represents something, the fruit, fertility and so on. Its a wonderful old piece fashioned apparently from white brass and tin.
