Multi-Strand Seed Bead Necklace with Tassel Ends

This item is a multi-strand necklace, approximately 18-24 inches in length when laid flat, composed primarily of numerous fine strands of seed beads. The dominant color of the beads is light blue, with some visible golden-yellow beads mixed in, creating a subtle two-tone effect or perhaps indicating variations in bead batches. The strands appear to be manually strung, given the slight irregularities in their arrangement. Each end of the beaded section terminates into a darker, possibly leather or tightly wound cord connector, which is then fastened to an elaborate, shaggy-textured tassel. These tassels are brownish-beige, suggesting natural fibers or perhaps unspun yarn, and appear to have some smaller, possibly reddish-orange beads or accents near the juncture where they meet the main bead strands. Near the bottom of the beaded section, there are three distinct, rustic-looking, rectangular or barrel-shaped beads, which are reddish-brown, possibly made of wood, terracotta, or a natural nut material. These larger beads act as a focal point or a separator for the multiple fine strands. The overall construction suggests a handcrafted or indigenous tribal style. The item shows some signs of wear, particularly in the tassels which appear somewhat matted and potentially frayed from use or age. The seed beads themselves seem largely intact, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm uniform condition and absence of missing beads. This necklace does not appear to have a traditional clasp, implying it is designed to slip over the head or the elaborate tassel ends form the closure.
