Susan Claire Dods in the picture book blog archive "Personal Collection" has a nice discussion about the Chinese Mandarin Court Necklaces- and how they might be classified. I'd have to say the $32,500 necklace would have to be classified as a "Tribute Necklace" based on what I've seen so far as a pieced together necklace..but what do I know, lol! http://susandods.com/picturebook/index.php?gallery=PictureBook/13-05-01_Chinese%20Mandarin%20Court%20Necklace%20Restoration%20Project-Posted EDIT: Yes this necklace is being described as a Prayer Bead necklace- a convoluted one at that, for sure. Yes more Mala than Court Necklace, though there is an overlap historically. This lacks multiple components that would qualify it under the Court Necklace, and then some. As Frederick has so aptly pointed out there are what we'd call red flags in composition and expected form. Hope someone is able to translate the inscription! I'll try to post in Reddit and see if we can get a translation. Copyright 2024
