A striking mid-century African tribal bib necklace featuring hand-carved batik-dyed bovine bone beads. Originating from Kenya, the necklace showcases a dramatic central arch adorned with three carved leaf-shaped bone drops and geometric tube beads, decorated with traditional black wax-resist batik chevron and wave patterns.
Strung with small black glass spacer beads and secured with its original vintage brass screw-barrel clasp. A bold piece of authentic African folk art jewellery that makes an eye-catching boho-chic statement.
Very good vintage condition. The carved bone elements are intact with smooth edges, rich natural grain, and crisp batik dye work. The brass barrel clasp screws together securely.
