Tasmanian Aboriginal (Pakana) Shell Necklaces

Antique jewellery dealer Anne Schofield recently exhibited a collection of rare Aboriginal shell necklaces from Tasmania, which were on show in June at her Woollahra gallery... Tasmanian Aboriginal shell work is unique, the patterns and shell types indicate the maker and also reflecta place or places, the seashores from whence they came, and the knowledge of collecting and making.
