Necklace old Bonda glassbeads & charm from Rajasthan

This necklace  is handmade by skilled craftswomen in Nepal. It is made with re-used glass beads from necklaces originally worn by women of the Bonda tribes from Odisha, India. They typically wear dozens of glass bead strings as their main form of clothing.
The old glass beads were worn for decades by Bonda women. The Bonda are tribal people who currently live in the hills of Odisha in India. Bonda women only wear a loincloth. Their torsos and heads are covered in strings of colourful beads. The old charms are from Rajasthan, India. They depict Hindu deities and were worn for protection.
The women from Beads for Life (Nepal) re-use the old glass beads from these strands to make the necklace.

The beads are strung on new a cotton thread, and packed on a display card of handmade paper.
