Naga necklace with small heads Nagaland
This is a very short necklace without an opening so it is most likely of more use for its components than for actual use. It consists of a string of glass beads, mostly orange with a few red and blue ones scattered in and eight old brass pieces. There are five faces each a little different and three melon shaped beads. The brass ornaments all show good age, with nice wear on the backs and also where they hang from a string. They are considerably older than the date we estimate for the necklace and bear no relationship to the new brass items now coming out of Nagaland.

Including the loop, each head is 1-1/8 inches long and 1 inch ear to ear.
