Sumba necklaces (Indonesia)

A selection of ceremonial necklaces from the island of Sumba, Indonesia. Made from cowrie shells, beads, natural fibers, bone, and sometimes feathers, these pieces are inspired by traditional adornments worn during ceremonies, weddings, and rituals.

Symbols of wealth, social status, spiritual protection, and cultural identity, these necklaces stand out for their graphic presence and unique character. Presented on an iron stand, they become true decorative objects, between ritual jewelry, tribal art, and collector's items.
