ABOUT
Tribal sun, Inca necklace in silver
The "Tribal Sun" necklace is a silver piece inspired by the rich culture of the Inca civilization in South America. The pendant is shaped like a crescent moon, reminiscent of the ceremonial axes used by the sun-worshipping people whose civilization thrived mainly in Peru and Bolivia.
This exquisite half-circle features a series of triangles aligned concentrically, evoking the radiant rays of the sun. These motifs symbolize Inti, the sun god of the Andean populations, one of the most important deities in Inca cosmology. Inti, also known as the "Father Sun," was revered as the source of warmth, light, and protection for the Incas.
In Inca mythology, Inti holds a central place. According to their beliefs, Inti traverses the sky from east to west each day before plunging into the sea to swim and return the next day. This daily cycle was considered vital for the survival of their civilization, bringing the light and warmth necessary for life and agriculture. The Incas firmly believed that their emperor, called the Sapa Inca, was a direct descendant of Inti, further reinforcing their adoration for this solar deity.
To complete this unique necklace, you can find the same solar motif on the "Inca Sun" earrings. Pairing these pieces creates a harmonious set that reflects the art and spirituality of the pre-Columbian sun. These items are not only jewelry but also tributes to an ancient culture and its deeply rooted beliefs in nature and the cosmos.
