Description

A necklace of about fifteen ribbed, segmented beads strung in a V-shape across a black background, with a single cylindrical pendant hanging from the centre. The beads have fluted surfaces and show light and dark grey tones, and a pale edge outlines the piece. A faint diagonal scratch crosses the lower right of the print.
