Manobo Necklaces

The basak (necklace) of Manobos is made normally of beads and tiny brass bells and sometimes of animal teeth. 

Another sample of a basak worn by Manobo women. Men rarely wear necklaces, and when they do, theirs are usually much simpler.

Not all basaks are large and flashy. I bought these simple ones for some friends.
