All across the world, people use pendants, charms and amulets to bring good luck or protection. These amulets are from South Africa, and are worn by Zulu men to protect them from harm. They are made from lion’s claws and glass beads, and are believed to bestow the wearer with the qualities of a lion, such as strength and power.
