Please view pictures for detailedmeasurements
A remarkable matching collection of two authentic Naga tribal necklaces, each displaying distinctive brass adornments, aged trade beads, and hand-assembled ceremonial elements collected from the culturally rich highlands of Nagaland along the India-Myanmar border. Their striking appearance, rich patina, and powerful ethnographic character make them exceptional display pieces for serious tribal art collectors.
What makes this collection especially desirable is the combination of rare brass "Majour" style head medallions, traditional glass trade beads, brass bells, and time-earned wear that reflects genuine ceremonial use. Finding two complementary necklaces together is increasingly uncommon, making this an outstanding opportunity for collectors of Himalayan and Southeast Asian ethnographic art.
