In many cultures, Serpants are regarded in as positive elements. They symbolize protective force, since snakes coil and defend themselves when threatened. On jewelry, they represent spiritual guardians, or Nagas, who protect the wearer. They also are said to bring renewal, since they shed their skins throughout their lifetimes. This old pendant has been rubbed with red ochre over years of use to increase it's protective powers.
