This necklace was worn by a man while he danced. To highlight the beauty of the object or maybe the wearer, he would, at times, grip the bailer shell in his teeth and continue dancing. Then, after a while, he would simply wear it, hung around his neck, until a while later when he would be inspired to once again grip the shell in his teeth. Called a 'dodoura' in the language of the people of Safia, Oro Province, Papua New Guinea.
