Description :

A vintage handcrafted necklace from Oceania, composed of tightly braided natural fiber cords, white bead strands, and a central carved bone pendant measuring 3" x 3". The pendant is framed by a graduated arc of curved tusk‑form bone elements, each shaped and finished by hand. Suspended below is a cluster of dark, hollow organic pods, adding sculptural movement and the layered, textural character associated with regional folk-art adornment.

The materials and construction reflect traditional Oceanic craft practices, including hand‑braiding, natural fiber binding, and the use of locally sourced organic elements. Variations in surface tone, natural inclusions, and irregularities in the pods and bone components are consistent with handmade production and the organic nature of the materials.

Condition Good vintage condition with expected wear to natural fibers and surfaces. Red marks in the reference photos indicate areas of note, including natural irregularities and minor frays typical of age and handmade construction. No structural instability observed.
