This necklace has vintage and handmade ethnic design elements, and its main focus is a stylized pendant, most likely made of natural horn. The main pendant (moon-shaped and triangle above it) is natural horn, with a characteristic striped surface. Black beads are made of horn, combined with brass details. Style: ethnically inspired (stylized African or tribal modernist), minimalist, archaic-art object - similar to the bohemian fashion trends of the 1970s-1980s. This necklace can be imported as an ethnic piece (e.g. from Africa or India), sold to the US market as an exotic handmade piece of jewelry, or a Native American modernist piece inspired by the “tribal” aesthetic - typical of artist communities in California or New York.
