MEASUREMENTS: Necklace: (diameter) 76 cm (inches 29,9) Pendant: cm 7 x 6.5 x 1.8 (inches 2.75" x 2.5" x 0.7") This necklace features a Mamuli pendant, a traditional Sumbanese ornament made from metal, often silver or gold. The Mamuli's shape is distinct, symbolizing female fertility and the giver of life. There are still 2 old tags from the previous owner Such pieces are rare and highly regarded not just for their artistic craftsmanship but also for their symbolic and spiritual significance. PROVENANCE: This Mamuli pendant comes from the collection of Mitsuharu-san, a Japanese manager who traveled extensively across Indonesia from the 1970s until his passing in 2022. Hailing from Hokkaido, Mitsuharu-san played a significant role in the development of the Japanese food chain "Hok-Ben" (Hokka-Hokka Bento), which grew to over 140 locations across Java and Bali. Mitsuharu-san’s frequent travels across Indonesia, particularly to the smaller Sunda Islands—such as Lombok, Flores, Sumba, Timor, and Sulawesi—ignited his passion for Indonesian tribal art. Over the years, he curated a remarkable collection of ethnic jewelry from East Indonesia, of which I have had the honor of acquiring select pieces that I now proudly offer here on eBay.
