New Silver chain, and an old tribal Timor tusk, lovely warm patina, sourced in the late 1970s from one of the interesting old curio shops of Kuta Bali, virtually all of which are now long gone. Hard to say how old the tusk is, but it was much worn judging by the smooth wear of the hole, probably dates back to the inter-war years.
Added a couple of well-matched old handmade tribal Afghani Silver beads; and a small spray of red, white and blue, old tribal glass, the red white-centred from Karen hill-tribes, the blue an excavated bead from south Java, and an old conch-shell bead.
The Silver cable chain is long enough, at 61cms, to allow a proper hang.
