Janis Joplin's owned and worn beaded necklace. From the personal collection of renowned booking agent and promotional manager Irwin Pate. For over four decades Irwin Pate promoted talent all over the United States and internationally. During his career he and his wife Clarine obtained a large collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers, including Janis Joplin.

The necklace has been in the possession of the Pates up to the time of this auction. Very good condition. Irwin Pate passed away in May of 2018, and this necklace comes with a letter of provenance from his wife Clarine Pate on Pate Booking Agency letterhead.
