Silent auction piece for Sumba...

The remote island of Sumba is one of the poorest islands in the Indonesian Archipelago, yet culturally it is one of the richest, with very strong, ancient traditions.

I used larger then normal beads for this necklace.
I went to the Sumba web site and gave this necklace the colors that made me think of the people and the surroundings of the island itself. I wanted it to be more colorful and chunky.
This necklace comes apart to make 2 separate necklaces and can be worn without the large spotted creme and black cross on the bottom.
