DescriptionThis string of seventy-five beads is comprised of forty-one cylinder beads of varying lengths, seventeen disc beads, sixteen ring or ball beads, and one barrel bead. There are also three loose cylinder beads and two loose ring beads. The modern stringing has large strips of ancient [?] textile. [These added strips of textile are seen on a number of early acquisitions, apparently put together for the tourist trade.]
