All are wearable as shown and constructed in modern times. Faience beads and pendants are ancient; stringing and metal findings are modern. Expected minor abrasions and chips to some beads, with light fading to glaze pigment in some areas, otherwise intact and very good. Nice preservation to glaze pigment in most areas.
