String of Beads

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The necklace titled "String of Beads" by an unknown artist features a circular arrangement of small, round beads. The beads are predominantly dark-colored, exhibiting shades of blue, green, and black. A single bead at the bottom center of the necklace appears slightly larger and has a more vibrant green hue compared to the rest. The beads are uniform in shape and size, except for the slightly larger one at the bottom. They are arranged in a smooth, continuous loop with no visible clasp or fastening mechanism. The background of the image is a plain, light-colored surface that provides a neutral contrast to the beads.
