Zulu amulet

 

Isiphandla 

A bracelet like this is made out of goat or sometimes in a cow skin. There are specific parts where you can cut this bangle on these animals. It is either on the eye socket of a goat, or on the lag of a cow. 

The Zulu bangle is worn to create a connection with the ancestors. It is also used for many traditional purposes. There are certain rules that you can not break while wearing Isiphandla. For example as a wearer before cutting the wristband off you must inform your ancestor
