Photograph of a necklace-like string composed of many small beads in different colors, likely including amulet-shaped elements.
The image shows a single strand laid horizontally against a light fabric background. The strand consists of numerous small, rounded and faceted beads and a few darker, possibly shaped components resembling small amulets or bead clusters. Bead colors visible include reddish-brown/amber, dark brown/black, green (at least one bead), and a small purple/indigo tone among the beads. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible. There are no clearly identifiable deity figures—only small decorative components along the string. The overall appearance aligns with the catalogue description of a “String of beads and amulets,” though the exact materials listed in the catalogue (faience, carnelian, lapis lazuli, amethyst, shell, pottery) cannot be confirmed from image alone.
