Brass Strand of Beads

A hanging loop of angular beads, dull on the edges and bright on the shoulders.

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. Bicone beads with broad hammered faces and a muted gold tone. Small greenish stains linger around the joins. Pale fiber is wound loosely around one bead near the curve, and the strand continues in a second loop behind.

Roughly shaped and perfectly content with that.
