These beautiful pieces were hand made in brass with ancient techniques by local artisans in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. 

The Sanggori have roots reaching back to the late Bronze Age.
They were traditionally worn by village heads during ceremonies and in battle, believed to give magical and protective powers to its wearer. The shine of a well polished Sanggori was considered strong enough to blind the enemy and exorcise demons. The spiral of the Sanggori often ends with the head of a serpent, considered a powerful animal connected to the underworld. Like many ornaments from Sulawesi,
the Sanggori were symbols of prestige, power and social status.
