Vintage hand-strung multistrand trade-style statement necklace, likely made mid-to-late 20th century and influenced by West African trade bead traditions. Features bold geometric sections of mixed beads in cobalt blue, green, black, yellow, coral, and turquoise-tone hues, separated by smooth off-white spacer bars. Beads appear primarily glass with possible resin or bone spacers. Finished with a hand-worked fiber neck wrap and wooden button tie closure. Necklace measures about 30 inches end to end. Condition: estate vintage with visible age wear; paint loss and chipping are present only on the painted beads—unpainted beads remain intact and unaffected. Strong visual impact and collectible global/boho appeal. Priced to reflect age, craftsmanship, and condition.
