This long lariat is finished with a pre World War II Chinese Military medal—something I’ve been using lately as end pieces. The rest is Kenya mudbone, vintage deer horn, abalone chards, and, well, everything but the kitchen sink.  This piece has been very popular in stores such as Barney’s in New York and Gilda’s Boutique in Newton, MA.  By the way, the Myakka is the river in Florida where the old Tarzan movies were made.  And, yes, the alligators are plentiful in the Myakka.
