19th century or earlier, Central America
The green stone bead is most likely pre Columbian, from the Maya culture and it is possible the bell too is also just as old. The two were collected and naively bound with wire. It’s a perfect example of adornments made by the people for the people: folk art. We made the finely woven cord, 3 day’s work.
