OMG this is huge, absolutely wonderful!!
Photo below shows Dong women wearing stylistically similar necklaces, but so far I only have seen on photos types that are these 3 maybe 4 tiered necklaces. Linda's version is much more eloborate and dramatic. There is actually a very similar example in my Chinese book about the minorities, but only one that they collected in the field and which is in a regional museum there. Truly a museum quality piece!
O just look at all these beautiful women!! Thanks Howah.
Great contributions by both of you!
Love it that the ladies look to be really enjoying wearing the necklaces.
How is it that what seems such a simple design seems so identifiably Chinese?
I agree, Linda - this is exceptionally good. You remember the big one which Truus and I bought from you, also held together with silver thread? Also very good, though not quite a match for this one!!
