Christmas presents

[gja1000]

In the Indian culture, there is much emphasis on the tribal elders passing along history, family information, cultural facts, and other bits of wisdom. The storyteller figure is to represent the tribal elder (it's always a women in the figures) passing along this information. She is always talking to children to represent that this starts at an early age.

Of course, it could also be interpreted to mean that a mom or grandmom is simply telling interesting stories to her children/grandchildren to keep them entertained.

I have had the story teller pot for some time now - but neither of us had seen a story teller necklace. I am wearing the necklace today - but like I said, I won't wear it much, I'll put it in my display case because it is too fragile for heavy wear. I don't mean that the figures on the necklace are fragile, but since they are clay, they can't get wet and if I should bump them against something hard, they could break - or if the clasp broke and they fell to the tile/wood/concrete floor, some would probably break.
