The magatama, a type of ancient Japanese ornament from the Kofun Period, is characterized by its distinctive disc or crescent shape, featuring a central hole. These forms were believed to possess sacred powers and held significant spiritual symbolism. Magatama were primarily worn as necklaces and adornments, serving as symbols of status and rank for the nobility and powerful clans.


This particular pair of magatama is crafted from talc, a soft and easily workable stone that was favored in ancient Japan for making magatama and decorative items. Together, they represent the duality of yin and yang. The condition of this pair is excellent.
