SOLD FOR AU $174.25

COMMENT: To claim Aboriginal authenticity sellers need to rely upon more than scant circumstantial evidence and indeed provide sound provenance to back up the assertion. There does not seem to be such provenance here. However, the shells in this necklace may well have been gleaned from a Hobart Necklace. Again, this necklace's description suggests that Aboriginality, if it can be established , adds value to these necklaces and that the word 'maireener' has currency on eBAY.
