A GROUP OF THREE RHINOCEROS HORN NECKLACES QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

comprising one with circular beads of amber color; the second with short cylindrical beads of dark-brown color, with three circular amber beads; the third with honey-colored flat beads (3)

All in good condition. Please note that scientific observation by a third-party expert has confirmed that the necklace comprising the circular, globular beads is not rhinoceros horn, but is rather the horn of another animal, perhaps water buffalo. The other two necklaces are rhinoceros horn.
