Round beaded neck ring. Necklace consists of eleven strands of small glass beads strung on wire and placed in encircling rows, becoming successively smaller in size toward the centre. Colours are a row of light blue on the outside, one row dark red, two rows green, one row red, two rows white, two rows dark blue, and finishing with two rows of red on the interior. Wire is placed intermittently across the rows to hold beads firmly in place. Two strips of leather also serve this purpose, and one holds a small string of twisted cotton.

These pieces are attached to a necklace made from three thin braids of leather held together by white wrappings. The closure is a loop into which fits a small club.
