Beginning in the 14th century, several nations on the west coast of Africa, used cowrie shell currency as a means to acquire goods. Cowrie shells were transported by Arabs from the Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean. Europeans took notice and were startled to learn that West Africans often accepted cowrie shells instead of gold as trade for goods. Eventually, the Dutch and English imported cowrie shells into the gateway of West Africa. Over time, cowrie shells diminished as a mone­tary means of trade, but they were spiritually elevated, made sacred by myths, and often adorned traditional West African people’s masks and sculptures. When African artists place cowrie shells on their creations (masks, sculpture, clothing, etc.), the artwork can cause an inspired believer of African descent to transcend emotionally and spir­itually, especially if presented in a ritual and cere­monial context. The physical shape of cowrie shells resonated with black people thousands of years ago as a feminine symbol because the bottom side resem­bles the genital orifice of a woman and the top­side resembles a pregnant woman (when topside is kept intact, not cut off). Thus, to the Africans, it appeared as if from the vast ocean had come a living organism with an outer shell that bore a striking resemblance to the physical features that defined the female human: sexual organs and the womb. Therefore, the cowrie shells’ natural design primarily encouraged women in Kemet to wear them on their clothing, belt gir­dle, and jewelry. Cowrie shells developed into a feminine symbol worn initially by women for various reasons. Cowrie shells transcended from jewelry to amulets in the spiritualized social environment of the burnt-golden skin people of Kemet. The mythological system of Kemet was the spiritual force that inspired the belief that cowrie shells were protective icons. Women were encouraged to wear a cowrie shell belt during pregnancy to pro­tect their unborn and themselves from any misfor­tune. Cowrie shells act as a catalyst to enhance the belief that they will survive during the child – birthing phase and have a healthy baby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do my best to be accurate Please read the full description & check all the photos...
