Tonga Bracelet

This piece is created from a circle of creamy beige cow horn, cut open to create a cuff and manipulated into a bracelet shape after heating and soaking in hot water then set to dry. The style is a recreation of a traditional Tonga bracelet. The outer surface features two lines of traditional linear stripes that have been etched in by hand using scrimshaw and then dyed with black dye to accentuate the resulting check pattern design
