There are 21 models of Southern Cross of Niger. Each represent a city and a tribe, they make the origins of the one wearing it recognizable. This cross represents the city of Timia.

For a contemporary style, this jewelry is set with a hook in sterling silver and can be worn on a chain necklace or on a silver choker.

 

Materials: sterling silver

Size: 4 to 7 cm

Origin: Tuareg craftsmen from Agadez, Niger

The Tuareg call these jewelry " teneghelt " which alludes to the production process with lost wax in an earthen mold.
The interpretations of this jewelry are varied. It could represent the four cardinal points or the " Southern Cross " constellation, the cross on the camel's saddles or a love message ; love is pronounced T(o)R(a) in Tamacheck, illustrated by the symbols " O " and " + ".
Maybe it could even be representing all these symbols at once...!
