A necklace features a single strand of translucent carnelian beads in shades of orange and reddish-brown. Suspended from this loop are white glass eye-bead pendants with dark centers, arranged at regular intervals along the lower edge and sides. Toward the top opening, the pendants cease, leaving only the carnelian beads. One end terminates in a thin purple thread, while the opposite side finishes with a small, knotted gold-toned wire.
