Description
A necklace of predominantly black beads, but at the lower point blue and blue-green beads (four of them only) strung where a pendant hangs. The pendant consists of a cylindrical glass bead, a brass bead and a thimble which has a mass of orange beads sewn to a piece of buckskin jammed into it, the orange beads looking very stamen-like. The black glass beads and the blue beads seem old (nineteenth century) but the cylindrical bead seems to be early twentieth century.
