Beaded Figure Ornament

The item is a small, hanging ornament or charm, likely handmade, constructed primarily from various plastic and/or glass beads and components strung together. It appears to represent a stylized figure. The top element is a red, translucent, disc-shaped bead with a ridged surface, possibly intended as a hat or finial. Below this is a spherical, light-colored bead, possibly wood or plastic, serving as the head. The body is formed from alternating clear, ribbed plastic tube sections and disc-shaped beads in shades of red, white, and pink. A prominent bright pink ring forms the lower part of the body, suggesting a skirt or base. Dangling below this are two small, translucent blue beads, potentially representing feet or droplets. The entire assembly is strung onto a white string or thin cord, folded over at the top to create a loop for hanging. The construction appears simple, indicative of a craft project rather than mass-produced item. There are no visible markings, signatures, or manufacturer's stamps. The materials appear to be in good condition with no obvious signs of damage, wear, or repair, consistent with a recently made or little-used item. The overall aesthetic is whimsical and colorful, suggesting a craft project or a small decorative item.
