A vintage ethnographic-style necklace featuring a large central oval cabochon pendant, carved from a material with a visible longitudinal grain, likely horn. The pendant is secured in a white metal bezel setting decorated with granulated beadwork and twisted wire borders. The main body of the necklace incorporates two large, curved, tusk-shaped elements of horn with a translucent yellowish-brown to dark brown gradient. These elements are interspersed with graduated, turned, reddish-brown beads of a similar organic material. The necklace is strung on a cord. No maker’s marks or hallmarks are visible.
