This beautiful piece of art is about 2" long and has a diameter of about one inch. I purchased this long ago when I lived in Indonesia. I believe it was originally intended for the white powder lime they use when 'chewing' betel nut. A lot of detailed work went into making this piece. It could be worn around the neck with a leather thong through it. Or repurposed some other way. It is old and fragile (not strong like wood would be).
