Old beaded necklace from Nepal. This necklace has multiple strands of small seed beads which were probably once white, but are now gray from age and use. A small amount of red and blue beads are scattered throughout. Braided string ties are tied together so that the length is long enough to slip over the head, but could be undone to tie a bit longer or shorter. Strung on original string, probably cotton. Total length is about 29 inches. Color is closer to original in the close up photos.
