Beaded Necklace

This piece is very old and delicate. The necklace is 29 cm long, and it has 12 cm ties at the ends. The leather pieces are very old and worn out looking. It is made out of white and turquoise beads. Some of the rows look as if they were going to fall off. The necklace was collected in 1913 from Mark Raymond Harrington. These necklaces were usually worn by men just for decoration of themselves.
