This striking decorative piece is a contemporary take on traditional Papuan and Polynesian tribal wealth adornments. Expertly handcrafted, the necklace features a dense arrangement of polished Tiger Cowrie shells and smaller Money Cowrie shells, meticulously woven onto a sturdy, cream-colored macramé fiber backing.
The U-shaped silhouette mimics the ceremonial "Bibi" or "Saba" necklaces historically used in the South Pacific as symbols of status, prosperity, and cultural heritage. Each shell is naturally unique, showcasing a beautiful array of earthy brown speckles against a smooth, ivory-white porcelain finish.
Presented on a minimalist black custom iron stand, this piece transitions from a traditional garment to a sophisticated work of coastal-inspired sculpture, perfect for a mantel, bookshelf, or console table.
