This is a very rare pointing bone from the. Arrernte people who live in Central Australia and was collected in the first half of the 20thC. The bone is a long fine example with fine surface engraved designs to the upper surface, the top has a clump of resin securing the human hair string which terminates in two resin balls each having two bird talon nails? I have only had one other necklace from this area with bird talons attached so this is a rare object. The bone measures 23cm and the total length is 57cm in length.
