Rare Enamel Snake Necklace, Set of Bowen Prints

I'm selling a couple of rare items hoping they go to a home in which they will be used/displayed.

First is a rare, enamel sterling silver snake necklace made from the Art Nouveau molds of Margot de Taxco. The necklace, 16 inches long, dates to no sooner than the 1960s and is, perhaps older. It was made by de Taxco's premier smith, Jaime Quiroz (mark of "ALBA"). You can see photos of the necklace on Craigslist at http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/atq/4813389913.html

Second up for sale is a set of 26 numbered prints by Betsy Bowen from her Antler, Bear, Canoe series. The set is No. 6 of 35, each print is hand pulled by Bowen, and signed by the artist. You can learn more about and see these prints on Craigslist at http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/art/4813330132.html
