    Great power in this piece! Is it worn like a necklace?

    Very nice to see this piece intact, with all the elements!

    Susan, I think they are worn either around the neck or hanging from the waist.
    I have quite a few different ones that I collected in Vietnam some years ago. They are difficult to find now and quite expensive in Hanoi.
