THE A-BOMB NECK PIECE
1945
U.S. Drops Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki
This neck wear is fashioned with various antique glass Trade Beads that were intended for use - and may very well have been used - in the North American Indian Trade. The wire is solid copper of about gauge 18 and the piece is composed with two separate segments joined by a hand fashioned copper clasp and a pendant arrangement of 18G sterling silver wire, copper wire and glass Trade Beads as well as the very nice U.S. Walking Liberty half dollar dated 1945 - the coin has been purposefully shined & buffed and holed by my own hand.
This piece is 'close fitting neck wear' as it will not 'slip on' over the head - the clasp must be used to secure the piece around the neck.
The approximate diameter is 6 inches.
