Weird and interesting piece of jewelry

[fashionpoor]

Hello Everyone! Can any of you jewelry experts chime in on this one? The pendant is huge (as in 6.5" long) and articulated? No manufacturers stamp, so just trying to get a sense of age and possibly who could have made it?

Thanks!

What a neat piece! Looks like a Balinese dancer (or possibly Burlesque, lol).

She appears to be more on the contemporary side, however if you have a pic of the catch/clasp that's on the chain, that'll provide more info.

Do a quick search on ebay " articulated thai" and a few will pop up.

These large articulated pieces were very popular for a while in the 70s--think of those large articulated owl necklaces and the like.

It seems like the huge articulated necklaces were from the 70s.

Thanks all. The listing states that it has a barrel clasp but I don't have a good photo (it's listed on eBay here).

She's wild...I've seen similar pieces before but never with that kind of face, usually are the same metal as the figure.
