A bold and sculptural tribal torque necklace, crafted in blackened metal with a subtle copper-toned undertone, dating to the late 20th century. The necklace features a rigid circular form with densely wrapped and coiled elements along the front section, creating a strong visual rhythm and texture. The dark patinated surface contrasts beautifully with the warm copper hues that emerge through wear, giving the piece depth and character. This type of construction and design is reminiscent of traditional ethnic jewelry from regions such as Southwest China (Miao culture), known for their expressive and architectural neck ornaments. The torque is fitted with a simple hook closure and sits high on the neck, making it a powerful statement piece.
