    It is made by the Miao, or neighbouring official Chinese Ethnic Minorities. The curved decorated ends of the choker are typical of their work.
    The animal looks like a squirrel to me.

    Maybe the rare and elusive Chinese Ethnic Minorities Long Tailed Rabbit?:)

    I think bunny & the elements that suggest a tail are just decorative. I know rabbits turn up in Chinese art; how common are squirrels?

    The ears are very small for a rabbit, so it is a squirrel to me.;)
    Pretty common.:)
