A collection of faience jewelry components is systematically organized in a vibrant turquoise hue. At the top right, leaf-shaped beads form two upward-pointing rows. Below, hundreds of thin, tubular beads assemble into long horizontal bands and small vertical stacks. Three large, flat fragments and a row of minute, dark beads occupy the upper left corner. These smooth-textured artifacts are displayed on white foam, accompanied by handwritten cataloging labels.
