This painted plywood necklace entitled "Ten Doo's" was made by the Scottish artist John Newton in 1986.
The necklace consists of ten pigeons made of painted plywood, each covered with Gypsona bandage and then attached to a double circle of painted string.
During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
