Up for your consideration is this spectacular vintage/antique Philippine tambourine reliquary necklace! This is an original traditional necklace and is in its original locally worn condition and configuration, which is very hard to come by. This is a large necklace, and exhibits extensive wire workmanship with handmade woven chains and cannetille work.
This piece is in overall excellent original condition, though could use a cleaning which will be left up to the new owner. It is made from very low silver-to-no silver content white metal which has been gold plated.
Overall this necklace measures approximately 30" long (wearable bead part 15" drop). The pendant part drops down an additional 3 1/4", by 1 3/4" wide. It weighs a total of 63 grams on my digital scale. Circa early-mid 1900's.
