This type of pendant is traditional jewelry of the Tuareg indigenous people of the Amazigh in the Salar Desert region of southern Morocco.
This cross has nothing to do with Christianity, but there are many theories about its meaning, two of which are the most well-known:
1. According to the narration of the old people in Saaturarig, in their culture, fathers would prepare this kind of jewelry for their sons who will start a nomadic life or get married when they become adults. The meaning is "son, because you will start a new life, father I don't know where you will die (not cursing my son to die, but I don't know where your future will develop) so Dad sent you everywhere.
Another way of saying it is more romantic
2. According to a Tuareg elder, a young nomadic warrior wanted to confess to the girl in his heart, but the girl could not receive his messages because they stayed at home.
Village blacksmiths at that time occupied a very important position in their society. The blacksmith even had the right to enter the homes of all the families with whom he traded.
The young man then combined the two syllables of the word "T (a) R (a)" ("tara" meaning "love" and spelled "ⵜⵔ" in the alphabet) in their language Tamashek, And commissioned a blacksmith to create a piece of jewelry that looks like this ⵜⵔ. Used to send a message of love to those he loves.
