A Western Asiatic restrung necklace featuring hardstone, shell and glass beads exhibiting varying hues of white, some brighter with others more naturally dulled. The beads gradually increase in size towards the centre, where the necklace lowers into a larger drop-shaped translucent glass bead followed by a small stone ring bead creating a pendant-like formation. Most of the beads are of a circular shape.
