MAMULI
A SYMBOL OF FERTILITY AND PROSPERITY
This striking piece comes from the island of Sumba in Indonesia, handcrafted in silver and brass by master artisans with ancient techniques.
Mamuli is one of the most iconic and culturally significant adornments in Sumba,
worn as pendants or earrings. Their origin dates back to antiquity, when they were crafted as offerings to the gods and spirits. Traditionally, Mamuli were considered sacred objects, used in rituals to honor ancestors and seek blessings for fertility and prosperity. They were often passed down through generations as treasured heirlooms, reflecting their enduring spiritual significance.
The Mamuli's shape is often interpreted as representing the female reproductive organ, symbolizing fertility, creation, and the source of life.
This makes Mamuli an important item in rituals aimed at ensuring the prosperity and continuation of the family lineage. Often made from valuable materials, Mamuli symbolize wealth and social status. They are also believed to possess spiritual power
and serve as a link between the living and their ancestors.
The mamuli comes complete on a black metal stand and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. Being artisan crafted, every piece is an original, showcasing the natural beauty of the material with organic imperfections. The handmade metal support carries its own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.
Dimensions with the stand: ca 20 x 15 x 6cm
