Description

Necklace comprised of four strings of blue-grey beads attached to a rusted metal zipper end, and fragments of a bird’s beak. The beak forms the lower most decoration of the necklace and acts as a pendant along with the zipper. The four doubled over strands of seeds are bundled together and tied with medium blue fibre about a third of the way up from the beak and zipper decoration. The zipper end and beak are attached to the bundles by thick, brown woven plant fibres.
