Nepalese necklace fulll

Very good early silver necklace with deity pendant having a sun featured in the clasp. This necklace seems to be of an earlier nature than the usual ones that one sees on the market. 18th/ early 19th c Nepal.

This is really nice! I like the patina and the deity design.

Beautiful, A necklace to be seen at the front and the back. Very nicely balanced for such a purpose.

So well kept, must have belonged to a well to do person, a good collector's item.
