{"product_id":"ankash-necklace","title":"Ankash Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnkash Necklace. A ceremonial brass pendant carrying the Ankash, the bird of ascension, from the stone of Chavín de Huántar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chavín carving, the great raptor rarely appears alone. She is woven together with other beings: condor, eagle and falcon in one form, with feline fangs beneath the feathers. The Chavín people held the natural world as composite rather than divided. Their sacred beings carry what each animal teaches, held together in one body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the composite bird brings is altitude. The capacity to see from above. The intelligence that arrives when the small distinctions of the earthly world fall away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn close to the heart, the Ankash is a quiet companion for the one who is learning to lift their gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is drawn in Peru, in consultation with teachers in Áncash, and handcrafted in Bali by metalsmiths who shape each piece in wax before casting in brass. 5% of every sale returns to Yarpakuti Chawpin, the organisation in Áncash that keeps this tradition alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece arrives in a KANTU pouch, with a story card and a care card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: solid brass. Chain length approximately 45 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdornment as Remembrance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KINTU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57606526206116,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/6845\/0724\/files\/ankash_necklace_2.jpg?v=1793692426","url":"https:\/\/kintuartisans.com\/products\/ankash-necklace","provider":"KINTU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
