neckful

It was said among the Yimoots on Goorgaun, that one man, the wealthiest among them, possessed seven hundred camels, five thousand sheep and goats, and two hundred mares; to wit, several necksful of money. The Toorkmuns keep their money and little valuable etceteras in large purses made of the skins of camels' necks.

They looked about forty, with frazzled, husklike hair, and neckfuls of primitive jewelry that bespoke extensive experience traveling in tropical climes.
