Anthropology: Ethnography.
Tribal Kina Shell Pectoral Necklace, Pearl shell ornamentation (neck).
Kina (shell money) Oject part of Pacific Cultures Collections.
Purchased from the amazing private collection of Mark Lissauer who spent his life collecting niche ethnographic pieces.
About Mark Lissauer:
Mark Lissauer spent forty years travelling abroad for months at a time collecting ethnographic artefacts primarily from New Guinea and the islands of the West Pacific, and from Asia and Himalayan countries. Fluent in five languages and having in the course of business travelled to more than forty countries, Mark is well-known to museums and art-collectors around the world for his long career and his interesting and diverse collection of rare ethnographic material.
Mark knows the origin and symbolism of each piece. Through extensive research and more than ninety trips around the globe, Mark familiarised himself with the traditions of the various cultures he visited in order to understand the meaning of each object to its region and tribe. His home has a specialist library and several rooms are filled with tribal carvings, textiles and ethnographica.
He acquired his first tribal piece in 1948 during a business trip to Milne Bay, New Guinea, and has since documented the acquisition of some 35,000 items. Several thousands of these have been sold to important private collections and museums worldwide, including the Rockefeller Museum, the British Museum and the Musée National des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie, now incorporated into the Louvre Museum.
Estimator certificate of authenticity by Wayne Heathcote Tribal Art Dealer and Expert.
Heathcote has a flash gallery in Brussels, where much of the tribal art business is centred, and is an expert at Sotheby's tribal art sale...

Ben-Amun Free Form Modernist AB Orange/Pink Glass Clip Earrings
By Ben Amun
Located in Clifton Forge, VA
These are such stylish modernist clip on earrings made by Ben-Amun and clearly marked on the back. The vibrant, iridescent pinkish orange glass with an aurora borealis AB (rainbow) finish, has a free form shape and the molded glass surface is nonuniform (it sort of looks like an iceberg). These earrings would add some fun to a classic outfit or would accentuate a funky vibe! They measure about 3/4 inch high and 1/2 inch wide and there is some slight finish loss on the back.

This is a fantastic pair of Ben-Amun clip on earrings with a large (about 7/8 inch diameter) vibrant faux mabe pearl surrounded by a rich, bright gold patterned frame with five lustrous bulbous pearl drops which graduate in size from each side to the center bottom. The earrings have incredible life from the bright gold and the shimmering pearls and large size measuring about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
They are clearly marked on the back and come on their original Saks Fifth Avenue card. There are some slight imperfections and marks on the pearls that I have tried to photograph but none of them are noticeable from a distance.

Silver Nugget necklace by Björn Weckström
Located in Uccle, BE
Original Björn Weckström pendant necklace.
The link type chain, typical of Weckström's chain designs, is sterling silver and 43 cm long. It makes the pendant sit close to the neck, as if a unique drop of water was resting between your clavicles. The pendant (diameter 4cm) is made of acrylic with an air bubble protecting a tiny gold nugget inside.
It is part of the Nugget series, inspired by gold nuggets from Lapland. The uneven and matt aspect of the rough gold nuggets are used as a central design feature of this series that seeks to recognise the role of Nature as its own jewellery maker.
Björn Weckström is a Finnish designer and sculptor (born 1935). Formed at the Helsinki Goldsmith School, he started designing with a typical Scandinavian Minimalist approach, but soon found his own particular style. He mainly uses of acrylic, gold, silver and semi precious stones. Often asymmetrical, mixing rough and matt surfaces with shiny ones, his creations have a bio organic feel. Taking inspiration from nature, both from mineral phenomenon and living creatures, he infuses his designs with a particular touch that can give them an almost alien look. His most famous piece was probably the Planetoid...

Man in Cosmos ring by Björn Weckström
Located in Uccle, BE
Original ring by Björn Weckström.
The shank is made of sterling silver and would best fit a ring size 7,5 / 8. However, due to the design of the ring, it would be comfortable worn by anyone, on any finger (except maybe the smallest).
The head is composed of a big acrylic ball with air bubbles floating between the hands of a human-like silver-made figure. It has yellow and green details inside the head.
