About this piece
Hemp, shell and a fringe of small teeth.
This woven necklace is the work of makers in Papua New Guinea, in hemp and shell. Shell and fiber ornaments are commonly worn in the region for adornment and to signal status. A dense woven hemp band supports a fringe of small, narrow shell pieces that radiate outward. Reddish leather ties and a small metal hook hang from the closure. The fiber is a dark reddish-brown and the shell a pale ivory. The piece is shown on a black stand.
About 18 inches long. Wear it, or let it stand and do the talking.
