Physical DescriptionNecklace of 85 Turquoise Beads. Transparent and opaque turquoise (5.0B 4/6) glass, string; drawn, wound. Necklace of wound and round turquoise beads, some of which are transparent and others are opaque. Most beads are the same size, but there is a singular small bead by the knotted string that almost hides in the perforation of the adjacent bead. The wound beads are more weathered and pock-marked than the drawn.Provenance
