Neptune's Treasure Amulet Bag
Evidence of amulet bags, medicine pouches and other sacred vessels are scattered throughout several ancient cultures. In Africa, Gris-Gris bags containing amulets and talismans imbued with voodoo magic were worn as protection from evil or to bring good luck. Egyptians superstitiously carried scrolls inscribed with magicians’ spells and enclosed in metal capsules to bring good fortune for themselves or to curse someone who had wronged them. Beaded Native American amulet bags and soft leather medicine pouches are probably the most commonly recognized by our modern culture and are still used today.
