Antique Necklace 1900s Seed, Hieshe, Glass, Brass and Copper artistry.

Description: The major length is a black heishe (possibly taqua seed or wood) it's hard to tell, I thought it could be black horn at one time. The heishe is separated with copper spacers, sectioned with brown glass cylinder shapes in two lengths, 2 amber glass beads with a centerpiece that as best i can tell is a Pachiuba seed. This is all my best guess. I stand open to correction. I can pretty much assure you this necklace is at least first half of the 1900s. My guess is African as she had a large collection from there also.It was purchased while we owned a bead and craft store in a resort town in Montana in 2013/14, from a 94 year old man who came into the store and asked if we would consider buying his wife's bead collection as she was now in hospice in Arizona with Parkinson's. Her beads still being here in Montana were of no use to them anymore. He needed to unload the collection, amongst other things, and get back to her side. He was a great old gentleman with a worldly outlook and as much wisdom as intent behind his eyes. His wife he said, was an avid bead enthusiast and collected beads of all sorts in her exciting world travels, nearly 70 years ago now. It turned out to be a full room of treasure boxes from all over the world. not just beads ... functioning art and cultural pieces. Her tibet and China and Japan collections were several boxes.
