An African handcrafted bone necklace shaped to resemble an African mask. This wonderful African necklace has been handcrafted in South Africa by Zulu tribesmen. The Bone necklace has been carved out of Zebra bone and set in the natural color of the bone with darker colors painted onto the bone to give the African bone necklace the Zebra pattern color.
This African bone necklace is a wonderful addition for any African lover and resembles Ivory in color and texture. African tribal jewelry like this has become very popular and worn all around the world. With Ivory being illegal, bone jewelry has become the next best thing. In Zulu customs when an animal is slaughtered for food, the entire animal is used and nothing goes to waste.
Bone has become a very useful item that can be carved and shaped into various utensils used today. This bone necklace has a beaded strap with 2 long tubular shaped bone beads on either side of the main pendent and hang around the neck, some of the necklaces do not have the bone beads.
