Brass Strand of Beads

A close spiral of little gold beads, as orderly as a beehive.

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. Plump beads with softly worn edges and a warm, slightly weathered gold finish. The occasional bead shows a lengthwise fold. The strand bends into a long oval, rings stacked tightly together.

Nothing flashy, everything neatly in its place.
