Vintage Mid-Century Resin Mano Fico Amulet with Bottle Charm, Rose-Gold Plated Setting, Folk Art Talisman, Curious Ex-Voto Style Pendant

A striking and unusual mid-century folk-art amulet featuring a bright yellow resin fist holding a small orange resin bottle, both mounted in a rose-gold plated metal setting with decorative nails and a twisted-wire bangle.

This handmade piece has all the charm of vernacular craftsmanship: the way the bottle is fixed into the fist shows a wonderfully naïve, almost amateur touch, giving it an honest, human quality. It feels like a piece made with intention rather than perfection, which only enhances its character.

The symbolism is intriguing. Fists in jewellery often relate to protection, strength, or the classic mano fico gesture. The addition of the bottle introduces a more personal layer, possibly even reminiscent of an ex-voto offered by someone overcoming or seeking relief from drinking habits. As with many folk talismans, its meaning is open, powerful and evocative.

In good vintage condition, with visible age marks consistent with its mid-century origin. Resin surfaces show natural wear and the metal mount retains its warm tone. Please inspect the photos for details.

A captivating and conversation-starting charm, ideal for collectors of curious talismans, folk jewellery or symbolic objects with personality.
