Orma Tribal Necklace in Cast Aluminium

This wonderful and unique aluminum tribal necklace was made and worn by the Orma Tribes in the North West of Kenya and in Southern Ethiopia.

Extraordinary imagination and work has gone into creating this necklace - aluminum hand cast beads interposed with the occasional tubular bone bead - ending with a beaten aluminum pendant - so clever, so rare and so chic!

Circa 1950.
