Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $200**

Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Sumer, ca. 3rd to 2nd millennium BCE. A lovely wearable necklace comprised of dozens of petite barrel-shaped beads of dark and light grey steatite sprinkled throughout with white and black faience beads of the same form, adding an eye-catching chromatic diversity. All beads are ancient. Strung in modern times and fit with a modern lobster clasp, these beads evoke the everlasting value of aesthetic beauty - likely mirroring that of its wearer! Size: 17" L (43.2 cm)
