Bead

Description

An ancient ornament consisting of small beads strung on a thread. The beads are of various colors: yellow, light blue, white, and bluish. Between them are small bronze looped elements shaped like decorative tassels, giving the item a unique appearance. The beads are round; some are finely polished, while others show signs of natural wear.

In ancient times, beads were used not only as decoration but also as amulets with mystical and protective meanings. Among nomadic peoples, multicolored beads symbolized spiritual purity, protection, wealth, and social status. Such ornaments were often found on women’s and children’s clothing.
