AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A mid to 3th quarter 20th-century traditional chest ornament, called wasekaseka or waseisei.

The piece features a crescent-shaped arrangement of tapered, claw-shaped pendants arranged by size, securely mounted on a woven fabric cord (cords would be replaced from time to time). It exhibits a smooth, warm honey-toned patina mimicking aged bone.

An authentic decorative item of Oceanian material culture, preserved in entirely original condition.

Good condition, no restorations.
