This gold necklace is in the shape of a snake and of Indian workmanship. It was given to Mrs Elizabeth Choy after WWII by Lady Shenton as a token of gratitude for Mrs Choy's help and kindess in bringing her medicine and daily necessities while she was interned during the Japanese Occupation. The necklace was a family heirloom, given to Lady Thomas by her grandmother. Mrs Choy later gave the necklace to her eldest daughter, Bridget, as a present for her 21st birthday.
