Description

Part of a large group of unidentified beads, pendants, amulets, bead spreaders, and partial and complete necklaces made of bone, shell, stone, carnelian, agate, lapis, turquoise, paste, clay, marble, crystal, etc. Disc, barrel, ring, carinated and incised beads.

Many of these pieces were probably once strung, and catalogued as necklaces.

This group is made up of a small animal figurine, a small gold biconical bead, a blue paste bead of unknown (distinctive) shape, a blue paste bird (?) bead, a stone triangular pendant, a ceramic pomegrante pendant/bead, a paste frog bead, and what appears to be a long bead but has the hole the other way
