Description : African art. Himba - Namibia. Necklace. Leather, iron and shell.. An iconic jewel of the Himba, the red people, and their culture. The central shell, with its beautiful patina and particularly worn, considered among the Himba to be money, takes on the role of a gemstone highlighted by a base of skilfully shaped iron grains, also considered money. Few traces remain of the red pigment that the Himba used to sprinkle on their bodies and objects, but it remains a valid testimony to the way of life of this proud people, without the pungent odour that their typical colouring emanates when fresh Gross weight: 71 grams Total length: 66 cm. Cm 6,00 x 10,00 x 1,70.
