A faience necklace features a vertical oval string of spherical beads and pointed pendants. At the bottom center, several teardrop-shaped pendants display a bright turquoise glaze. Moving upward, the pendants transition to muted cream and tan, with some still showing turquoise tips. Small beads separate each pendant around the loop. The necklace exhibits a matte, textured surface, creating a rhythmic sequence that transitions from vibrant turquoise to earthy, neutral tones.
