Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
The image shows a necklace-like string of small colored beads with a central purple stone and green and red beads, ending in gold-colored end caps.
The artifact appears as a single strand of small, barrel/rounded beads strung together. Most beads are light green (faience-like) with several red oval beads spaced along the strand. There are also a few light blue/indigo beads and one central purple bead (possibly amethyst). Two gold-colored pointed/leaf-like terminals/end caps are visible at the left and right ends of the string. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible on the photo. No figures of deities or royal names are depicted; the object is purely jewelry/ornamental.
