This big 'ol beast makes a statement and is inspired by the ancient term, Mountains of The Moon. That term refers to the legendary mountain range in East Africa as the source of the Nile River. The Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are now considered the modern identification of that area. Starting in the mid-1700's, many explorers have searched for the origins to the source of the Nile. The most successful being Sir Richard Burton's and John Hanning Speke's amazing and treacherous journey. Due to their accomplishments, we now know that Lake Victoria and its tributaries are the true source of the Nile. It's definitely a piece of history worth exploring for yourself. This bracelet also reflects that exploration and that mysterious area that gives birth to the great Nile River. The African Turquoise and Coconut Wood look just like the colors and textures of the forested mountains and the Dyed Yak Bone has an ancient African pattern it. The Large Bone Mala Skull is a shout-out to Sidi Bombay who was an African Guide who assisted Burton and Speke on their discovery. This chunky bracelet just has an authentic look & feel to it and is worthy of the name. Go search for the Mountains of The Moon for yourself...the ones who did before you will tell you it was worth the difficult journey.
