Description (CMS Description)
Necklace (sisi). Seven small carved whale teeth on a piece of European string terminating with a knot. Three of the teeth are long and slim while the four others are much wide. Two of the teeth face the wrong way around which could indicate that these pieces of ivory were re-strung at a later date. 'Z 29750' inscribed in black ink on one of the teeth. A small rectangular label attached to the string reads [handwritten in black ink:] 'Z 29750' on one side and 'Stanmore 1923' on the other.
