Description

This necklace from the remote Palauan island Hatohobei consists of five polished conus snail bottoms ("mes"), which are knotted at even intervals on a double cord twisted from coconut fiber. For this purpose, the snail bottoms were each provided with a hole through which the cord was pulled.
