The bib panel is woven from black cotton cord in an open lattice pattern; the bottom edge dissolves into a dense curtain of long black tassels. The torque collar is fitted with engraved butterfly\/phoenix end connectors that attach to the bib via black knotted cord. \u003cem\u003eWear the whole tradition at once.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5157\/2781\/files\/n04-white-background-full-front-view.png?v=1786438065\" alt=\"N04 White Background Full Front View\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5157\/2781\/files\/3_a1843276-389e-4f6f-aa3d-fc28584964c5.jpg?v=1786438649\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5157\/2781\/files\/n04-middle-charms-box-pyramid-pumpkin-flower.png?v=1786438100\" alt=\"N04 Middle Charms - Box Pyramid Pumpkin Flower\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5157\/2781\/files\/n04-bib-bottom-edge-tassel-transition.png?v=1786438117\" alt=\"N04 Bib Bottom Edge \u0026amp; Tassel Transition\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1.5px solid currentColor;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003eRead more +\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from copper with silver-tone electroplating, finished with a controlled antiquing process (black\/yellow patina) that deepens the engraved detail on each charm and gives the piece its aged, ceremonial quality.
