Virgin Mary Carved Bone Pendant on Vintage Multi-Strand Bone Necklace

Vintage from the 70s, multi-strand bone beaded necklace featuring a carved bone relief of the Virgin Mary set in a silver tone metal bezel from Nepal.
The necklace is composed of 5 strands of creamy white bone beads primarily small round and elongated tubular beads. The 5th. strand was added by me, stringing bone beads and aquamarine colored jade beads and then adding to the other 4 strands. I purchased the bone necklace from one of my vintage vendors and, the pendant was purchased from an importer of Indian pendants then, I created this striking looking piece.
On one side, the strands connect to a large hand-carved cylindrical bead featuring two carved elephants, elephants are known to bring good luck to the wearer.

Suspended at the center is a substantial oval pendant depicting Our Lady of Lourdes (Virgin Mary) in detailed relief. She is shown standing with hands clasped in prayer, surrounded by radiant rays. The pendant is set within a decorative silver-tone decorative bezel, that will tarnish showing the copper with age.
The top round bead at the top of the tubular elephant carved bead is chipped but very smooth, maybe original, not noticeable and adds to it's vintage charm.
The necklace closes with a simple metal hook closure. Can be worn with or without the pendent or, you can put athe pendent with another chain, as shown in the photos. The silver necklace is not available.i
Necklace is 29 inches long, the pendent hangs at 3.50 inches and is 1.25 inches wide.
