RARE Antique Native American Dentalium Trade Bead Necklace Abalone Shell Pendant
This rare, beautiful dentalium & trade bead necklace with an abalone shell pendant dates to the early 20th century, I believe (but please take a close look at the photos & use your own best judgment)--it may be even earlier than that. Likely from the northwest US or northwest coast region but I'm not sure--I've only seen these occasionally in museum collections. The necklace measures about 22" long & the pendant is approximately 2.5" long. I believe the necklace is strung on cotton string. There's one broken dentalium shell toward the top & one of the blue glass beads has some roughness but it's not actually broken.

Please take a close look at the photos. This necklace has such subtle beauty & I've really loved wearing it-I hope you will, too. I don't want to create a hassle for anyone but I do want to make sure you get your package safely.
