Photograph of a short string/strand of small barrel-shaped beads, predominantly orange-red with one end-mounted rectangular label.

The object appears as a single strand of tightly strung beads arranged in a straight line. Most beads are small, rounded barrel segments in reddish to orange/copper tones, consistent with carnelian-like coloration. At the left end there is a pale rectangular tag/label with printed characters (appearing as museum inventory text), attached near the first bead. Two thin metal/needle-like prongs or wires extend from both ends to support/hold the string in the display. No carved hieroglyphs, cartouches, deity figures, or other inscriptions on the beads themselves are clearly visible in the photo. The central beads show faint banding/striations typical of stone or bead drilling surfaces, but there is no legible inscription. The overall form matches the catalogue description of a string of beads; the beads’ color aligns with the stated carnelian material.
