This protection amulet includes a bullet encased with a knotting technique; kind of double sided macramé and is probably made by a male prisoner.
Such amulets are often given to young men going to military service and are supposed to protect them from bullets and other harm.
So, here you are, your light weight, low tech, Kevlar vest.

Gorgeous amulet, Star!
essential for every sensible person!
interesting story and lovely amulet Star!
It is so nice to read your blog and see all these traditional things.
It looks a bit like the kumihimo technique. Looks great! :)
Am I the only one who find it strange that there is a real bullet worked into it? :)
