Title: Burmese Conch Shell Money
Description: The Naga Tribe of Burma admired conch shells so much that the entire shell was used as money until the latter part of the 20th century, and beads made from the columella of the shell also circulated. Two such beads are included in this lot, one of which is illustrated in Opitz, p. 116, 2nd from top. The other is enhanced by a black disk and a cornaline d’Aleppo bead (white heart) pendant.
