Gold Whiskered Barbet Necklace

Presented with a hand-made cotton pouch with painted detail on front.

Each of our Clay Whistle Necklaces are hand-made using locally sourced clay, and hand-painted by our Akha hilltribe artisans.

Commonly referred to ask the Common Toucan, the golden-whiskered Barbet (Megalaima Chrysopogon) is anything but common with its distinct and brightly coloured plummage and yellow whiskered cheeks. Found all over Asia, they have evolved into masters of disguise amid the foliage they prefer.
