It is backed with shell
this necklace has been photographed at least once before
the link takes you to ebay U.S.A. but original listing may have been on one of their country specific sites
I did buy it on eBay here in the US out of Oklahoma I can say with confidence it is authentic just curious if anyone recognizes the work it is a wonderful piece
Hmmmm…ebay can be dicey.

I’m sorry , I find this picture really disturbing. I don’t mind taxidermy (obviously, I have inherited a stuffed black bear), but this monkey just hanging there bothers me.

It’s the hanging there “part” that now can’t be unseen.

Same same. Additionally, I was concerned to be looking at possibly an endangered ape’s hide and I don’t know what else. Perhaps @Jason will review.

I mean no offense to the profession of taxidermy but, I found the photo of the ape disturbing and discomforting. I understand this forum to be primarily about discussion and shared knowledge of Native American/Southwestern jewelry.
