Brass Strand of Beads

Angular beads that look cut by someone who never owned a ruler.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass beads are generally made by casting in small molds or by the lost-wax method, then strung in lengths that are worn or traded. Chunky bicones with uneven flat planes, brushed to a muted yellow glow. Dull patches of greenish patina cling to the points. A twist of tan fiber shows at one bead, holding the strand in place.

Wonky in all the right directions.
