Brass Strand of Beads

Fine golden wafers marching round and round like a very orderly parade.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Strands of metal beads were traditionally worn as ornament and as a form of portable wealth in many parts of Africa and Asia. Slender disc beads strung edge to edge, in tawny gold with rosy flashes. The surfaces are a bit scuffed and soft, not mirror-bright. The strand forms big concentric loops with a curved end poking inward.

Orderly, understated, and good at being a circle.
