Brass Strand of Beads

Toffee-colored little barrels, glossy in spots and sleepy in others.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass beads in a strand are often graded or mixed by size, so the rhythm of the strand is as much a part of the piece as the beads. Round-sided beads with a mix of satin and slightly dull faces, in yellow-gold with warm brown shading. A thin crease marks some of the sides. The strand loops in rounded, nested coils on a dark ground.

Soft-spoken beads with a good sense of rhythm.
