Description:

These kind of amulets were used to protect the animals and to ensure their fertility

There is always one bigger animal with seven smaller, most of the time it is difficult to tell which kind of animal it is. Sometimes it looks like lions, sometimes like birds

This is the only fertility amulet I have seen where a person is in the center of the piece

Some people told me women were wearing these amulets if they want a baby
