This pendant features a small handbag motif at the top, woven from wild grape vines.
Although small in size, the pendant is intricately woven, showing the care and craftsmanship in every detail.The handle of the bag is also made of wild grape vine.Despite its delicate size, the handle is firmly and finely woven.As each piece is handwoven from natural materials, slight variations in size, shape, and texture will occur.Even the connecting part where the leather cord is tied shows thoughtful attention to detail—this too is made of wild grape vine.The leather cord worn around the neck is adjustable in length.You can adjust the leather cord as you like—wear it long,or shorten it for a different look.
While accessories and small items made from wild grape vine are often created secondarily from leftover basket materials, the artist who made this pendant prepares materials specifically for small works, designs them independently, and finishes each piece with refined elegance.
Like a wild grape basket, this pendant will gradually develop a natural sheen as it is touched and handled over time.
Please enjoy this beautiful piece for many years, together with its gentle aging process.
