Ethiopian Strand of Beads

A string of pale beads, like a necklace of river stones.

This strand of white glass beads comes from Ethiopia, East Africa. Strung beads have long been traded and worn across the region, often as necklaces, and white glass is commonly appreciated for its clean contrast with dark skin and clothing. The beads are rounded and slightly uneven in size, with a soft opaque surface. They are knotted at one end with a small woven or beaded fastening.

A single loop, and it behaves like a quiet necklace. Hang it from a peg.
