About the Item

A 10-strand necklace hand-crafted from red-orange Naga beads from the early 20th century and strung with natural fibers.

These bright, rich, and stunningly coloured beads were traded among Naga people in Northern India and Burma. Given their desirability and rarity these beads became highly treasured by the Naga People.
