This hand beaded necklace is a unique cultural piece. It is not only a gorgeous accessory, but also tells an interesting story. The pendant part of this necklace is meant to resemble a traditional fish trap of the Amis tribe. The Amis practiced ecologically friendly fishing. They would place a conical, tapered bamboo trap in a river. Fish would swim into the trap and be unable to find their way out. Then, all the fisherman had to do was to lift the trap out of the water and collect his catch. The chain part of the necklace depicts fish swimming into the trap.
