A U-shaped string of small yellow discoid beads with ridged surfaces.
The image shows a single necklace-like element laid against a light background, forming a U shape with both terminals at the top. The bead string consists of many small, uniformly sized discoid beads. Each bead appears to have a ridged/perforated disk-like profile, and the beads are predominantly yellow/golden in color. No inscriptions or carved/painted designs are visible on the beads. No metal mounts, clasps, or cord are clearly shown; the beads appear strung together as a continuous strand.
