Brass Pear Charm

During a Bead Hunt Funky Frog made a big order from the Kokofrom Cooperative outside Kumasi. These Pear Charms were made especially for Funky Frog . The Pear is 24 mm including loop. It is said that “while the symbolism associated with pears and pear trees varies slightly from culture to culture, in some form, it invariably stands for life and longevity.”
