#168470Beads are from the stated period and are strung on modern fiber strands but are perhaps not intended to be worn as necklaces; can be restrung on different stringing for wearability. Minor nicks, abrasions, and pitting to some beads, otherwise intact and very good. Great preservation to bead coloration. All are displayed within a modern Riker display case.Condition
