Tutãra wedding necklace
Rikbaktsa People2011
Museu do Índio
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This necklace is always referred to as "wedding necklace", but it is also a female adornment that may be used by women and children in the great festivities. The piece is formed by a bundle of tucumã coconut necklaces that counterbalance a backpiece in shell to which a nape piece, made of feather bundles with decorated taquara rollers or with cotton twine adorned with seeds and beads, is superimposed.
