Tribal Style Vintage Carved Bone Bib Collar Necklace
Description
A vintage multi-strand bib collar necklace composed of carved bone elements. The construction features five graduated tiers of small spherical bone beads separated by horizontal rectangular bone spacer bars, creating a laddered, architectural form. The spacers are arranged vertically at the base of the bib and taper toward the top. All components are threaded onto a twisted natural fiber cord. The necklace is secured with a toggle clasp consisting of a carved bone button and a cord loop. The material exhibits a natural cream to off-white color with varying patina. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the piece.
Length: 11.5 inches
Width: 3.25 inches.
Condition report:
The necklace is in good condition. The carved bone components appear intact with no visible chips or cracks. The natural fiber cord shows minor surface fraying consistent with use, particularly near the clasp area (photo 1). The toggle clasp is functional and secure.
