Japor snippet
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Japor snippet was a good luck charm that Anakin Skywalker gave to his future wife, Padmé Amidala, as a gift in 32 BBY on the Naboo Royal Starship when they were traveling to Coruscant.[1] It was a simple piece of japor ivory wood carved with a traditional Tatooine sand symbol. It was threaded with a string of Jerba leather.
Thirteen years later in 19 BBY, Amidala still had it in her possession and wore it in private whenever she was with her husband.[2] While she lay dying after giving birth to her son Luke and her daughter Leia, she gave the japor snippet to Obi-Wan Kenobi to keep for her. However, Kenobi did not understand the significance of her gesture and returned it to her.[source?]
During Amidala's funeral procession, her body could be seen holding the japor snippet in her hands.[2]
Anabar also sold japor snippets at the Mos Espa Grand Arena
