The Gan people are an ethnic group primarily found in Burkina Faso. They are known for their craftsmanship, including metalworking and jewelry-making. While I don't have specific information on a brass pendant made by the Gan people of Burkina Faso, it is likely that they produce various types of brass jewelry.

Traditional Gan jewelry often features intricate designs and symbols that hold cultural significance. These pieces are often handmade using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Brass, due to its durability and availability, is commonly used in their jewelry-making process.
