Vintage 1970's Himalayan Tribal Beaded Bib Necklace-Coral, Turquoise & Cowrie
Presenting a stunning mid-to-late 20th -century statement pice originating from the Himalayan/Ladakh region. This dramatic pectoral bib features meticulously hand-stitched rows of vibrant coral-red glass seed beads set against a structured, heavy olive-drab cotton backing.
The focal point is an intricate central mandala medallion crafted from mosaic cut simulated turquoise stone, framed by a radiant burst of natural, polished cowrie shells. Designed to sit flat against the collarbone, it tapers into durable canvas neck ties that offer an adjustable, secure fit.
A quintessential bohemian heirloom perfect for adding rich texture, weight, and global character to a minimal canvas or modern wardrobe.
Excellent vintage condition. The structural backing is incredibly sturdy with zero fraying, thinning, or stress tearing at the anchor straps. Front beadwork is fully intact with no missing elements, loose thread rows, or loose shells. Light expected vintage patina on the natural shell components that adds to it's authentic character.
