BeadsSf663

Green and blue/green stone beads are interspersed with 18 barrel-shaped and one ellipsoid bead made of golden metal. The 134 stone beads are a mixture of disc-shaped, barrel-shaped and irregular shapes. They are arranged symmetrically on either side of the golden ellipsoid bead. The ellipsoid bead is made of two hemispheres of sheet metal while the other metal beads are rolled with a simple overlap join. Strung on monofilament.

BeadsSf660

Hollow golden beads of two sizes are regularly alternated with yellow, disc shaped shell beads and red-purple cylindrical shell beads and are strung on synthetic monofilament. There are 20 large and 80 small gold beads as well as 20 purple and 40 yellow shell beads. Most of the gold beads are dented and some have holes or are split at their equatorial join. Some of the shell beads have worm holes. Many of the beads have traces of red pigment in surface irregularities.

BeadsSf677

93 globular, golden beads in three sizes strung on synthetic monofilament. The 9 large beads and 2 small beads are shinier than the 82 medium sized beads which are more tarnished. Some of the medium sized beads have traces of red pigment. The beads are constructed of two half spheres of metal that are forced together around the equator of the bead. These beads are precisely cut and joined at the seam.

BeadsSf676

136 globular and convexly biconical golden beads of the same approximate size strung on white cord. They are constructed of two half spheres of metal that are forced together around the equator of the bead. Many of the beads have a dark tarnish overlaying the golden surface. A few have green surface deposits. Some have traces of red pigment on the surface. A number have breaks, particularly along the seam. Four beads are entirely split along the seam.
