The eyes ward off evil and provide protection and insight to the wearer. Still made today for export, this particular pair is over 100 years old and had been used by a shaman. The photos show front and back and detail, 4. 5 inches long x 1. 25" wide. This is the nicest pair I have ever seen! Very smooth from wear overall, and especially the hole! Sold
