Crocodile Pendant

During a Bead Hunt Funky Frog made a big order from the Kokofrom Cooperative outside Kumasi. The process these metal smiths are using is the same as their ancestors… back then it was gold now it is any metal they can get their hands on!! If you would like to see the intricate process check out the blog here …

While there we browsed and some fun beads and pendants already made that we found beautiful, caught our eye. These Crocodile Pendants are part of that batch. There are 4 different crocs to choose from.

“Denkyem means “crocodile.” It is a symbol of adaptability, cleverness, from the proverb, “Ɔdɛnkyɛm da nsuo mu nanso ɔhome mframa,” to wit, “The crocodile lives in water yet it breathes air.”
