Description:

Central Asia, Tibet, ca. mid to late 20th century CE. A necklace composed of turquoise disc beads, branch coral, and hollow copper spheres arranged along a wire strand with a toggle clasp for wearability. At the center hangs a bold sterling silver pendant, set with a polished turquoise cabochon above a circular coral inlay, creating a striking contrast of colors and textures. The copper and turquoise beads are probably older than the other elements with chips and abrasions from previous use.
