Beaded necklace with leather fringe and a square piece of fabric. This fabric is decorated with white buttons (which are positioned in a T shape) and blue, red, yellow, black, and white beads. Two strands of beads extend down from each of the bottom corners of the fabric. The beaded strands on the viewer's left side (with the fabric square on top and leather fringe on bottom) form a loop at the bottom, which fastens to a metal button on the top left corner of the leather.
