DescriptionA woven and knotted necklace, made with brown and silver "threads." A circular collar with a large spherical knot is at the top of the necklace which descends onto the wearer's chest with a central smaller circular form with several loose "threads" floating across the surface. Stone beads are woven into an arch shape, and expand out, while several arms extend from an outlined central stone disk creating an arch-shape. Yellow C-shaped horizontal threads face down from their woven section which hangs from the stone disk. Several orange beads are placed at the end of the brown and silver warp threads.Provenance
