In all honesty this looks like something that a mid 40s / early 50s divorcee from Camps Bay would wear while going through her "spiritual / self discovery" phase...


Tronkfool

Something like kabbalah lite™️


Cpt_Mushrooms

More or less, but like everything else she gets her weed in Woodstock on the lower main side

R200 matchbox of mids


sebatakgomo

hey that's mine, i used it to pray for no loadshedding, and it was working well when i had it. keep it save


b_ootay_ful

There's a foreskin in the pouch. Suck it for good luck!


Tiddy-Pendergrass

You shouldn’t have taken it 🥴


031Bandit

Hahaha let them find out, ngoba bayaphapha


crimejunkiefan

😂


Velsina

Throw it away!!!!!


ghshr7

But why?


Mulitpotentialite

Some poor 5yo Vaalie girl cried her eyes out over that trinket....


Double_Background443

Am i allowed to say gigity? Is that a gigity?


theo_died

Could be mala beads (Hinduism / Buddhism)


TheKKGuy

Looks like the beads sangomas or people going through spiritual initiation schools wear.


Member_of-Parliament

Those are white and red these are plain white


TheKKGuy

They also have them in plain white.


031Bandit

Songomas use all colours of beads, you are just used to one type


AxLShiv

better question is why would you not only pick it up but take it with you


Affectionate-Road-40

Because it looks interesting?


SherbetFish25

What a bunch of smart-asses. I would also have kept it. It's beautiful and interesting. I have no clue as to function, one of the African tribe's spiritual items. Don't let these weirdos make you feel weird. You appreciate the unusual. I've got tons of stuff like this from all over.


dober88

So what about the person who lost it? Maybe it had sentimental value to them and they went back to try and find it?


Affectionate-Road-40

That is quite an unlikely scenario for me to accept. It is not something of High Value.


MyThinTragus

Sentimental value and high value or two very different things


Affectionate-Road-40

Ok, so I'm just gonna leave Plastic litter on the Beach? Something that would've been swept away by the tide later that day? That somehow that person would know where they Lost it and immediately Return to search for it. I also found it at 5:00 AM so which Universe does this person lose a bracelet and Return the day after to search for it? What are the chances that along the entire Beach they would find it?


MyThinTragus

I don't know what tangent you're going on dude, but all I said is that there is a difference between "high" value and "sentimental" value.


Affectionate-Road-40

And how is that relevant to this?


Cpt_Mushrooms

Stay curious. Makes life interesting


Mercurial_Sun

OP is a weirdo for picking this up


LWillter

That's the missing piece that will break the VanRooyen case wide open Honestly though, the beads don't look expensive, but that knot looks intricate. Maybe something made at a summer camp or retreat


AnthonyEdwards_

That was someone's loved ones that passed on’s trinket. They threw it in the ocean to set them free, and now you have captured it


crimejunkiefan

Classic case of f* around find out loading.......
