About the Item
19th to early 20th century Jantar necklace, Nepal
This long silver alloy (kakar-manka) necklace, a jantar, features a hollow amulet box depicting the elephant god Ganesha, which is suspended from eight woven silver wire cords, anchored in the back with a circular lotus repoussé clasp. These necklaces were worn by the wealthy married Tamang women of Nepal; traces of red puja powder remain on the two pendants. It measures 18 inches (45.7 cm) long, as photographed, 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) wide.
