Martin's Magatama

Magatama (???), less frequently (??), are curved, comma-shaped beads that appeared in prehistoric Japan from the Final J?mon period through the Kofun period, approximately ca. 1,000 BC to the 6th century AD.The beads, also described as jewels, were made of primitive stone and earthen materials in the early period, but by the end of the Kofun period were made almost exclusively of jade. Magatama originally served as decorative jewelry, but by the end of the Kofun period functioned as ceremonial and religious objects. And my best friend has a penchant for them, so I'm making it so he can make them out of metal.
