Naga Tooth Necklace fine 25" openingNaga jewelry from the Nagaland region of India has a bold and carnal quality to it. The Naga were the last headhunting tribe (it is no longer practiced) and continue to use earth based warrior mythology to adorn and identify. This necklace of 6 animal teeth interspersed with gorgeous antique white heart beads is a beautiful reminder of a culture in transition. Material: Teeth, glass beads, cotton Measurements: 18" long, teeth are 2" Age: C. 1920
