Yes, with treasures waning in their countries of origin, one can still find spectacular pieces in the US if one looks. Some more treasures to follow!

Hi Chantal, I think that it is vintage Indian, made for export to Western markets. Newer vintage. :-)

Ohhh, what a shame, the beads with small beads looked old (to me)! Many thanks for your expertise Hillary.I always fall for the "made for the Western market" stuff. Wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!
