‘Night Sky’: Brass torque with engraved cow bone pendant, ebony beads & ostrich egg shell

£65.00

‘Night Sky’ is a brass torque with a dyed cow bone pendant engraved with a tree, a star, and comets, flanked by Turkana ostrich egg shell discs and ebony beads. This piece is inspired by the night sky in the Turkana region of Northern Kenya – the cradle of humankind – which until recently had no light pollution.
