I found it on ebay years ago and eventually made the necklace. Each flat side has a peacock and one edge has a tree. It was sold as coming from Nagaland and the tree was described as a "Bo" tree (Bodhi?). I'm guessing it comes from Tibet or Nepal or northern India somewhere but is not Naga made. I would welcome any comments as I really don't know. I'll post a picture of the tree.

I'm new to forum format and am wondering... When I post images, do they just go under my member info. or do they also go onto the slide show we all see?

Thanks for your help.

I see you already posted photos, or one, (I just sent you a message how to add photos). If you add them here like this, they are primarily under your page (your photos), but the slide Show is running automatically and takes alternatively any photos posted. Try it out, load more photos and you will get some practice. WIth title and description, you seem to have done well!
