Description

This handmade necklace was purchased from the carver in the village of Ambonwari, in the East Sepik province of Papua New Guinea, in 1978 and is in perfect condition. It has hung on my wall ever since and has never been worn. The necklace is obviously very unique. The necklace portion is constructed of seeds strung on bush fiber, and the carved pendant is constructed from wood, mud, shells, and wild boar's tusks. Definitely one of a kind, at least around here. The necklace portion has an approximate circumference of 23", and the pendant is 8" long, and 4.5" wide. I looked extensively on the internet to determine an appropriate price, and necklaces of this vintage and quality on all sites generally sell for several hundred dollars, so I have priced this item very inexpensively at $120. Price firm, cash only. Cannot ship or deliver, for pickup only. If this ad is posted, it is still available.
