Penis bone is just under 2" long (heh) and is from Vulpes Vulpes, symbolically worn for virility and fertility. General physical vitality. On an 18" sterling silver chain, deadstock from the 1960s. Amulet from the late 19th c or early 20th c, maybe? A Bavarian "charivari" is a traditional, often inherited, silver chain worn on Lederhosen, featuring animal trophies like teeth, claws, and antlers. Originating in the 19th century as a hunting talisman, it was believed to bring good fortune, display hunting prowess, and signify high status or wealth. The term itself derives from the Latin for a "medley" or "chaotic collection". Amulets were worn in odd numbers for luck.
