Lovely example of true Bedouin nomad jewellery from the Wahiba region of Oman.

The lower part of the Digg necklace consists of multiple strands of small silver beads which are twisted together in bunches and hooked to each end of the silver rod trough a large river hoop.

Incased in a beautiful glas covered display case/frame.
