Photograph of a small bead necklace on a museum display background, consisting of multiple rounded dark beads with a knotted/looped strand ending in a small attachment.

The image shows a bead necklace laid horizontally/diagonally against a light-colored background. The main element is a string of many closely spaced, rounded beads (uniform in size), colored dark brown to near-black, with a small purple-blue accent bead at the left end and a short loose cord/strand protruding. Part of another red bead object is visible at the far left edge, but the focus is the dark bead necklace labeled with a small number “3” on the background beneath it. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible. No definite amethyst coloration can be confirmed from the available lighting; the beads appear predominantly dark.
