African Beaded Necklace with Bells and Shells

This is a multi-strand African artisanal necklace featuring a vibrant sky-blue glass seed bead foundation. The necklace transitions from a simple triple-strand design at the neck into a complex central bib or locket-style focal point. This central section is highly textured, incorporating numerous antique-finish brass hawk bells (crotal bells) that would provide an acoustic element when worn. These bells are interspersed with small red accent beads and dark tubular spacers, likely leather or oxidized metal. Hanging from the central focal point are five beaded tassels of varying lengths; four are blue and one is white. These tassels are adorned with finishing elements including two naturally occurrences cowrie shells, signifying wealth or fertility in many African cultures, and several dark, doughnut-shaped beads that appear to be carved wood or coconut shell discs. The craftsmanship reflects traditional West African beadwork techniques, particularly those found in the Sahel or coastal regions. The necklace is secured with a black barrel-style clasp. Condition appears fair to good, with some asymmetry in the tassel lengths and visible wear on the stringing material near the clasp. The metal components show a heavy aged patina, consistent with late 20th-century ethnographic jewelry. No visible maker's marks are present, which is common for such hand-assembled folk art pieces.
