Shell & Bone Necklaces (Indonesia)

A selection of ceremonial necklaces from Indonesia, notably from the islands of Sumba and Timor. Made from cowrie shells, carved bone, seeds, and natural fibers, these traditional pieces were worn during important ceremonies, weddings, and rituals.

Symbols of wealth, protection, and social status, these necklaces are distinguished by their strong visual presence and unique character. Presented on a stand or as a decorative piece, they become true works of art, somewhere between traditional adornment, wall decoration, and collector's item.
