Naja Symbolism: “This emblem was old when Columbus crossed the ocean to the new world. It was wide spread from Africa to Serbia. In short, it was an Old World amulet fastened to horse trappings, preferably the bridle, to ward off the evil eye from the animal. These crescent shaped amulets were made of two boars tusks joined together or fashioned out of brass, iron, silver, gold, or bronze.  The Romans had them, so did the Moors. The bridle trappings of the conquistadors no doubt carried these same traditional ornaments.” (click here for full article)
