Kurt Agzi – Wolf's Mouth Turkish Symbols Adjustable Bracelet

The Kurt Agzi Wolf's Mouth motif represents the weavers' wish for wolf protection for their flocks. It consists of a traditional wolf's mouth pattern, which was originally used in antiquity to protect tribes and their cattle from wolves. This design was imitated in weaving with the belief that one may be protected from anything if one did so. Wolves were a major danger because nomadic people bred livestock and sheep. In earlier times, people fashioned animal-like figurines that resembled this form hoping it would keep them safe from harmful creatures. Since then, the image stands for broad defense against evil spirits and creatures.
