String of Beads

Cleveland Museum of Art

The String of Beads by an unknown artist depicts a collection of turquoise beads and jewelry on a dark gray background. The beads vary in shape and size, including cylindrical, spherical, and small ring-shaped ones. Most beads exhibit a turquoise color with brown spots and a weathered appearance. Some beads are strung on threads, while others are loose. Two long, curved cylindrical beads form a partial circle at the top. The smaller beads are concentrated at the bottom and left side of the image. A few beads have a lighter greenish hue. The background is a solid dark gray color.
