Native American Turtle Necklace & Beads
Offered in this lot is a wonderful Native American leather and bead necklace with a small turtle shell amulet. The necklace features soft leather with twelve red beads and six black beads. The necklace is knotted and measures 30" around. The turtle and fringe are 6" long. The turtle shell measures 1 1/2" X 1 1/4". Next are eighteen bone pieces for a gorget. Five are square shape, four are round button, eight are rectangle, and one is a tube. These bone pieces show some green coloring, perhaps from being next to copper pieces. The pieces measure from 1 3/4" X 1 1/4" to 1" X 1/4". The last item in this lot is a collection of Russian Cobalt Blue tube beads. There are ten tubes that measure from 1 1/8" to 7/8" and 1/4" around. There are also twelve faceted tube beads that measure from 7/8” to 3/8". These beads range from a dark midnight blue to cobalt and a light steel blue. These items are all in good condition, with minor damage due to age and use.
