Tuareg Necklace african often representing passionA lovely old Tuareg necklace from the region of Agadez in Niger composed of metal incised pendants strung on a strand of seed beads. The stringing is a bit tight, but lovely on. It both has strong resonance with antiquity and an easy modernity. Great on its own or to layer with a messy pile of chains. Material: silver, brass, glass Measurements: 19" Age: C. 1920
