DescriptionVarious small beads of red, blue, green, silver, yellow. Mainly ring beads, but the silver ones are a modified cylinder with flaring ends.
The other beads from this field number were strung to make 24.1761. [However, 24.1761 and 24.1760 (21-3-703) are now indestinguishable from each other, having lost their tags in the past so they are stored together]
