Perfect for Use with Amulets or Pendants. SIZE: Diameter: 2mm. Length: 20 inches. All measurements approximate. DETAIL: A high quality 2mm black leather cord with sterling silver fasteners. The cord is produced in Greece following leather-making traditions which are thousands of years old. Leather making is an ancient art that has been practiced for more than 7.000 years. Together with wood, leather formed the basis of much ancient technology. Prehistoric and primitive peoples preserved pelts with grease and smoke and used them chiefly for shoes, garments, furniture, scrolls, gloves, coverings, body armor, helmets, shields, slings, cord, tents, and containers. Ancient cords were used to mount and wear amulets and pendants. Besides strips of leather, cords were oftentimes made of bark strips such as from the cedar or from the sinew(tendon) of an animal. Ropes were made by twisting two fibers together, in opposite directions, which causes the individual strands to lock(press) onto each other making a stronger. The process of leather making treats animal skins and hides so as to preserve them and make them suitable for use. Tanning converts the otherwise perishable skin to a stable and nondecaying material. Though the skins of such diverse animals as ostrich. Lizard, eel, and kangaroo have been used, the more common leathers come from cattle, including calf and ox; sheep and lamb; goat and kid; horse, mule, and zebra; buffalo; pig and hog; and seal, walrus, whale, and alligator. One of the more remarkable leather arts involved cordwain, once a synonym to Cordovan, meaning"from Córdoba" Painted or gilded embossed leather decoration for walls, a 12th century north African style, was introduced to Spain(hence it is sometimes referred to as'Spanish leather' Around the turn of the 1
