Description

The listing, Old Tribal Wooden Glass Metal Beaded Ethnic Animal Necklace has ended.

This is a very unique one of a kind necklace I stumbled upon. I have really never seen anything like it. I was considering selling it on etsy but I really dont know if it is vintage or not so I hope someone on listia will enjoy this for free! It does remind me of some ethnic jewelry I have seen from the 70's. It is made with colorful wooden beads including the wooden animals which includes horses and elephants. There is some wear in the wooden animals not that noticeable but it is there. Some of the beads are made of glass and some are metal. There is just hundreds of beads! I like the whole fringe look it's so wild looking. I do think that this was made in another country probably Africa or India I have bought some stuff similar to this at the world market. Shipping is Free!!!

The little figurines are what are called "fetish" pieces. In the Southwest, Indian sculptors carved small stone figurines in animal, human, and supernatural shapes, usually known as "storytellers" or "fetishes." Some, like Zuni fetishes, were totemic and featured inlaid eyes and heart lines; others, like Navajo storytellers, were strung together into 'fetish necklaces' that served as mnemonics for traditional stories. That is what I believe this necklace to represent. It is done in a more up to date style so it isn't an old collectible, but still a beautiful representation of Native American styled art... guess who's bidding??? LOL :-)

You do know a lot about jewelry! How can I gain this knowledge? :) thanks a lot I'm glad I know more about it. I kept it for a long tome because I thought maybe it was a high value collectible or something.
