Description: This unique piece of tribal jewelry represents the rich culture of Chile’s indigenous history, specifically the Mapuche people. This Mapuche pectoral pin is one of many prominent symbols in the Mapuche culture. This pin, also known as the trapelacucha or “Akuche", is a chest pin worn by the Mapuche women. This piece of jewelry is made up of triangular silver plates, each representing the duality of the natural and spiritual worlds. The upper plate of the trapelacucha pin depicts two birds facing each other, symbolizing the feminine-masculine duality. The Mapuche people have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply intertwined with their beliefs and values. This unique chest adornment is made of a silver alloy. Its dimensions are approximately 10” in height x 4” in width. It has eight distinct hanging silver disks and two hanging disks within the top emblem. There is a long pin on the back of the piece that fastens within a small hook (pictured). This unique pin is one of many things that represent the rich culture of Latin America and the unique traditions of the Mapuche people.
