A necklace of thirty-four carnelian and eighteen lapis lazuli beads. Fifteen of the carnelian beads are long tapered cylinder beads and twelve are shorter bi-conical beads, seven of which have a distinct line around the circumference in the middle where the two planes intersect, the remaining six are of a more rounded form. The center bead is 3.23 cm in length, 1.33 cm in thickness at the center and 6.8 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 1.5 mm. There is some evidence of regrinding in an attempt to polish out three slight chips in the surface, but apparently the attempt was abandoned leaving very slight facets over these chips. The bead is handsomely banded with layers of both clear and white quartz. The next white and orange bead back on the left side of the photograph is 2.05 cm in length, 9.3 mm thick at the center and 5.9 mm wide at the ends. The hole diameter is 1.5 mm. The next tapered cylinder bead to the back is a mixture of lighter and darker orange and is 1.79 cm in length, 8.5 mm at the center and 5.2 mm at the ends. The hole diameter is 1.8 mm. The next white and orange tapered cylinder bead to the back (left side of the photograph) is 2.05 cm in length, 9 mm wide at the widest point in the center, and 4.8 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 1.2mm. This bead has also been reground on opposing sides to remove chipped out areas making it about 1.6 mm narrower. The next long tapered carnelian bead is a mixture of lighter and darker orange and is 1.72 cm in length, 8 mm wide at the center and 4 mm thick at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 1.4 mm. The next white and orange bead back is 1.72 cm in length, 8 mm wide at the center and 5.5 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 2.5 mm. The less tapered ends and the wide drill hole indicate that this bead is considerably older than the previous beads listed, probably around four thousand years old. The previous beads are from around two thousand years ago. The whitened bead at the back is also a four thousand year old bead with the large hole and distinct line at the circumference. It is 1.4 cm in length, 6.2 mm at the circumference and 4.2 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 2.4 mm. The bead has been whitened by burial in alkaline soil. It has the distinct profile of a bead from the Indus civilization. We will now list the beads going from back to front, on the right side of the photograph: The bead pictured above is also an Indus agate bead that has been whitened by burial in alkaline soil. It is 1.8 cmin length, 6 mm at the widest point in the center, and 4.5 mm wide at the ends. The diameter of the drill hole is 3 mm. In the center of the next group of three carnelian beads to the front is a rounded barrel bead with tapered ends 1.25 cm in length. It is 7.6 mm at the widest point and 4 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 1.5 mm. There is some chipping at one end and in the body of the bead. The next white bead forward is very similar to the other orange and white striped beads previously described, except it has been whitened by burial in alkaline soil resulting in the white being opaque instead if semi translucent. It is 1.9 cm in length, 8.9 mm at the center and 5.8 mm at the ends. The hole diameter is 1.2 mm. The longer carnelian bead in the next group of three beads forward is 2.03 cm in length, 8 mm wide at the center and 4 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 2 mm. The next carnelian bead forward is a dark orange with translucent white banding. It is 2.3 c m in length, 8.5 mm wide at the center and 5 mm wide at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 1.5 mm. The longer carnelian bead in the next group of three forward is 1.8 cm in length, 8.5 mm at the center and 5 mm at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 2 mm. The last white and pale orange striped bead, to the right of the center bead in the photograph is 2.05 cm in length, 9.5mm at the center and 5 mm at the ends. The drill hgole diameter is 2mm. The carnelian bi-cone beads range in size: the largest is 1.22cm in length, 1 cm at the center and 6 mm at the ends, with the drill hole diameter at 2.5 mm. The smallest is 9 mm in length, 8.2 mm at the center and 5.2 mm at the ends. The drill hole diameter is 2.5 mm. There are a number of smaller tapered barrel beds of squat proportion and less distinct form that are used as spacers in the groups of three carnelians towards the back of the necklace. The principle beads with banding are faced with lapis lazuli beads. The largest is 5.5 mm in length and 9 mm in circumference. The smallest are 4 mm in length and 8 mm wide. These are short cylinder forms with rounded edges. There are pairs of lapis disc beads 4 mm by 2mm that face the Indus beads at the back. There is a garnet bead at the very back of the necklace ( third from left in the above photograph) 6mm in size. The hand made clasp and beading tips are sterling silver.
