Wonderful vintage Japanese ojime netsuke bead and
gemstone bead necklace. The necklace is double strands in some places
with larger single strings of beads between them. They have stone
(maybe travertine or soapstone), bone, metal, plastic (possibly
bakelite) and carved wood beads including one of a bull, ox, or water
buffalo. The necklace measures about 17 1/4 inches. Lovely on!
Condition: a little paint loss to the gold painted bead and plating
loss on the clasp. Other beads wonderful
