Description: A delicate horn, transformed into a charming bottle, serves as the centrepiece of this necklace. Suspended from its generous curve is a small, beaded vessel, embellished with intricate bead streamers that dance gently with movement. This unique accessory is worn by men and women who are middle-aged or older, each piece carrying a story. Within the bottle lies a precious elixir, a remedy sourced from the wisdom of a Traditional Doctor, symbolising not just health but a deep connection to cultural heritage.
