A single-strand necklace composed of numerous large, barrel-shaped beads, graduating slightly towards the center. The beads are a uniform deep, translucent red, exhibiting strong orange-yellow light transmission when backlit, suggesting a material such as natural resin or early synthetic plastic, possibly Lucite. They are strung on a natural fiber cord, possibly twine, with a simple knot securing the visible end. The beads generally present a polished surface. No discernible text or markings are apparent.
