Description
This adjustable necklace is strung with hand-rolled paper beads to create a lightweight piece with colorblock contrast. Small variations in shape and color reflect the process and make every necklace a one-of-a-kind treasure. Handcrafted in Eswatini, a small landlocked country in southern Africa known for strong craft traditions that emphasize handwork, creative reuse, and community-based making.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
