Incredible monumental tribal style bib necklace by Masha Archer with long double layered strands of Chinese turquoise beads, red and blue glass chevron beads, and goldtone and silvertone cast metal openwork beads, dropping from an engraved silvertone metal collar with an elephant motif, with multi strands of matching red and blue glass beads, and metal beads, attaching to the collar. Marked MASHA ARCHER SAN FRANCISCO and numbered. 1990s. Each ring attached to the collar has two strands of beads. The back section is attached to the collar at each end with heavy black cord which has a hard shellacked finish. It shows a bit more on the side opposite the clasp but is all original. A weighty amazing statement piece. Amazing size -- the center drops 10 inches and the wearable length is 17 inches. Excellent condition. Some loss of finish on the rings attaching the strands to the collar, pictured but not noticeable at a short distance. Display form is life size. Photos enlarged to show detail.
