This unusual vintage necklace is an authentic beggars necklace worn by those requestimg alms on the busy town and country streets. No two necklaces are alike, since the owners add extra beads, pendants, and dangles to personalize. This is an unusual one with its Uzbek dangle and blue glass bead, calling to passersby to give generously. This necklace has a jangly chain that slides over the head to put on. A unique piece of authentic vintage Afghan Tribal Jewellery.
