Subject:Engraved / inscribed ivory agate necklace
Posted By: Sally Fri, Oct 02, 2020 IP: 90.254.45.60 Hi , I hope you are all well. I think this necklace is either very late Ching or Republic era, banded agate and jasper or serpentine. |

Posted By: Sally Sat, Oct 03, 2020 Thank you Mark , very helpful info. I thought the ivory pieces on the necklace could be a little older as they are a bit cracked and yellowish in places but maybe that doesn't necessarily mean they are old? Looking closely at the manufacture I'd agree it doesn't look that old, the clasps are roughly made in base metal, possibly plated and the necklace attached to the clasps with leather thong. The beads seem to be hung on something more fibrous like cotton or silk mix. |
