Tribal necklace called Palanpagang. It is a priest's collar, always composed of sometimes large worked pieces of mother-of-pearl. This necklace has 7 large pieces of mother-of-pearl decorated in various layers of decorations. These necklaces are worn by men of the Ifugao tribe and the Kalinga tribe. The pieces of mother-of-pearl show different colors depending on the angle you look at them from. The pieces of mother-of-pearl are sometimes unworked; others like this one carry several lines with a very fine engraving. See my other Ifugao items. The cord is made of braided rattan. The necklace is in good condition.

Shell part size approx. 7.5 cm long x 5 cm wide
