Beads2827/57 a-j

Thousands of small beads threaded onto ten separate strands (parts a-j). Beads include several discs that are white, clear, and terracotta in colour. There are two elongated beige beads, and a few white balls, however, most are steatite or shell in a mixture of dark grey, light grey, black, white, and brown colours, and similar in shape. The beads have been threaded onto loops of black fishing line, making ten strands of similar size, probably holding about three hundred beads each.

Figure2827/18

Marble sculpture of a woman's head. The hair of the figure is parted at the top, and it forms into thick twisted strands at the sides of her face. The figure's nose, lips and chin are quite worn. The figure possesses a high forehead and relatively shallow-set eyes. There is a rough, broken surface at the neck, indicating that the head may have been attached to a larger statue. Areas of the sculpture show discolouration.
