The eleven stands of the necklace are held in place by six ‘straddles’ made of bone. The closure consists of a small white square plate made of cut and polished sea snail shell. This type of necklace was chiefly worn by Konyak Naga women and girls. L: c. 56 cm. Between the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century. (ME)
