Multi Color Padre & Trade Bead Necklace Collection
Featured in this lot is this multi-color Padre bead and trade bead necklace collection, circa 19th century. There are three necklaces in this collection, with the first showing a multi-color strand of Padre style beads with a treated twisted cloth necklace strand tied at both ends. The necklace features unique claw depictions with cylindrical glass trade beads of multiple colors. The last features a strand of glass trade beads with colors of translucent white, pink, and green with long tube glass trade beads that are gold and dark green. The condition of these bead necklaces is good, with one of the strands coming apart. The measurements of these beads are 26 1/4" from tip to tip for the padre beads and 19" from top to the tip of the claws for the other.
