A necklace-like string of small green beads with two larger off-white spacer/end beads connected by a thin cord.
The image shows a circular loop of closely set small green beads (likely glass), forming a string/bracelet-like object. Two larger, smooth, off-white beads appear at the upper left and upper right of the loop, where a thin light-colored cord extends upward out of frame. The beads are uniform in size along the arc and no decorative inscriptions, cartouches, or figural elements are visible. The background is a plain light surface, and no associated text is present.
